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."

If those statistics are accurate then that is very interesting.

For those who used CBO figures to support the passing of this garbage legislation do you stand by these figures?

However, for those who have kept up with Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projections on the implementation and progress of Obamacare over the next decade, the results will not be all that surprising.  On the contrary, the most recent report issued by the CBO in May appears pessimistic by comparison. Of the 55 million "Uninsured Nonelderly People" the report lists for 2013, only 11 million, or 20 percent, are projected to obtain insurance during 2014; the number of uninsured falls only to 44 million next year according to the CBO.  This leaves a full 80 percent uninsured, significantly more than the 67 percent found by the survey.

In fact, the CBO projects that under Obamacare over the next decade, the number of uninsured will never fall below 30 million. Here are the year-by-year projections from the report:

2013 - 55,000,000
2014 - 44,000,000
2015 - 37,000,000
2016 - 31,000,000
2017 - 30,000,000
2018 - 30,000,000
2019 - 30,000,000
2020 - 30,000,000
2021 - 31,000,000
2022 - 31,000,000
2023 - 31,000,000

If these figures are true that these many people will continue to be uninsured, then what was the point of passing crapcare? It did nothing to resolve the "problem".

So will those who haven't purchased Health Insurance still have access to free healthcare come Jan 1?

Won't that just make the problem increase 10x?

I think the point is, these people STILL cant afford health care because its STILL too high and is STILL increasing.

Fuck You OB, you sell out

It was never about helping people or health care, its always been about insurance companies living their pockets. And people bought it hook line and winked, because they actually believed a politician gives a flying fuck about their wellbeing. Oh well, fuck them, that's what they get for being idiots.
