In Wake of Scandals, ObamaCare Ratings Continue to Drop

With 7 months to go before the implementation of ObamaCare, the public unease and uncertainty around the law continues to grow rapidly by the day. After the American people learned that the scandal-ridden IRS would be handling the law’s implementation, it’s no surprise that the public’s fears and worry surrounding the law continue to mount.

In a new survey released by InsuranceQuotes.com, almost 50% of Americans believe that the new health care law will make it more difficult for them to receive adequate medical care. Additionally, over 64% of people have yet to decide whether or not they are going to sign up for insurance by the January 1st deadline.

Check out some more frightening stats from the survey conducted:

58% of adults aren’t sure if they will be eligible for tax credits to help offset ObamaCare’s costs

60% of people are afraid that ObamaCare will end up increasing their health care costs

68% of low-income Americans aren’t sure if they qualify for tax credits that would help to subsidize their insurance costs

The worst part? If not enough people enroll to help offset the program’s costs, it’ll drive up health care costs even higher for the rest of the country.

Laura Adams, senior insurance analyst at InsuranceQuotes.com, said public uncertainty about Obamacare—particularly a lack of commitment to signing up—could end up driving up health-insurance costs under the program because not enough healthy people will participate to offset benefits payouts.

“I was really shocked that 64 percent [of uninsured adults] said they haven’t decided if they will purchase insurance by the Jan. 1 deadline,” Adams said. “I was definitely surprised by the high number of people who really have no clue what they’re going to do next year.”

So far, all we’ve seen from ObamaCare is growing unease and worry from the American people. It’s unacceptable.
