WASHINGTON — Americans who lack medical coverage disapprove of President Obama’s health care law at roughly the same rate as the insured, even though most say they struggle to pay for basic care, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

Fifty-three percent of the uninsured disapprove of the law, the poll found, compared with 51 percent of those who have health coverage. A third of the uninsured say the law will help them personally, but about the same number think it will hurt them, with cost a leading concern.

The widespread skepticism, even among people who are supposed to benefit from the law, underscores the political challenge facing the Obama administration as it tries to persuade millions of Americans to enroll in coverage through new online marketplaces, a crucial element of making the new law financially viable for insurers.

“Americans who lack medical coverage disapprove of President Obama’s health care law at roughly the same rate as the insured, even though most say they struggle to pay for basic care, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.”

No kidding? Obamacare features increased premiums for insurance, deductibles, and co-pays. How can they pay for all that and still pay for healthcare?

Skewed and false BS numbers. Try more like 93 %

Fifty-three percent of the uninsured disapprove of the law

Considering the law was supposed to INSURE THEM, you'd think 100% of the uninsured would disapprove of the law....dumb a**es.

Poll probably taken at liberal colleges

Fifty-three percent is roughly the number of uninsured idiots who finally got the memo that they have to pay something for it.

High premiums, high deductibles and high co-pays...

47% haven't figured out that there isn't any free lunch yet -- and it's a very expensive lunch for what they get.

Maybe the Pajama Boy demographic they're aiming for really is the correct one!

But Obama and Dems blew up out whole health care system supposedly just for them.
