Gallup: Only 22 Percent of Uninsured Plan on Buying Insurance Through Obamacare
Down from 44 percent just last month
A new Gallup poll brings more terrible news for President Obama and his signature health plan, showing that only 22% of uninsured Americans intend to buy insurance through the ObamaCare exchanges.
One of the major selling points for using ObamaCare to disrupt our health care system (that polls showed up to 80% of Americans were satisfied with) was to insure the uninsured. But according to this poll, only a very small minority of that small minority is even interested in obtaining insurance.

Utterly incredible?!?!?! HOW selfish can people BE!?!? Young 'uns, shut out of the job market by responsible older folks who are NOT faced with changing diapers to the wee hours, who do NOT irresponsibly show up bleary-eyed at the work-place late on a regular basis, for having put their energies into raising future taxpayers? They DARE to protest against having to pay for us old geezers and our Viagra and walking canes and wheel-chairs and old-geezer self-esteem therapy and old-geezer aromatherapy and old-geezer Acupuncture and old-geezer space alien abduction therapy? Well, just WHO do these young up-start, snit-nosed kiddos think that they ARE?!?!? I tell ya, in the old days, we ate cock-roach stew and wore rat-fur coats, and we were GRATEFULL!!! Ah jus' don' know any moah?.
