Middle-Age Men Say No to Obamacare Plans

Anyone wondering why Obamacare is having a hard time meeting its enrollment projections, even after the problems with HealthCare.gov have mostly been fixed, will want to look at a survey released today by Bankrate.

The headline number from the telephone survey of more than 3,000 people is that 34 percent of respondents without insurance say they plan to stay that way, even after being told that the new law requires them to get covered or pay a penalty. What's more interesting is who's saying that:

It's not just the young. Of the 1,249 respondents without insurance, people age 18 to 29 were in fact the least likely to say they will remain uninsured, with just 28 percent making that claim. Among those 50 to 64, the figure was 33 percent; for those 30 to 49, 39 percent said they would stay uninsured.

Everyone that has part of a choice is saying "No" to Abomicare.

Those that don't have any choices don't have to pay for it...they have no taxable income.....

We who shouted from the rooftops against it and were called "Tinfoil Hats" are still here, constitutionally deciding on what we choose to buy, or choose not to.

We will adjust our W-4's accordingly, and be wise of what we pay for.

I opted out of a "Smartmeter"as well, and when the $75 is added to my bill, I will pay my bill every month minus $75.
