Only 11% of Millennials are planning to buy into Obamacare

While much of the public relations campaign for President Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has centered around convincing Millennials to buy into the law’s healthcare exchanges, just 11 percent of them now plan to do so according to a new poll by The Morning Consult. - Red Alert Politics

Millennials in general aren’t too familiar with the details of President Obama’s signature legislative act. A study by The Commonwealth Foundation released last month found that 27 percent of adults 18-29 were familiar with the healthcare exchanges, while a study by the National Center for Public Policy Research released in August reported that Millennials are better off paying the fines to forego the healthcare exchanges than buy into them.
