A Hope for Republicans in the Battle Against Obamacare

The Wall Street Journal reported today that many uninsured Americans are preferring to pay the penalty rather than enroll during the special enrollment period. A poll done by McKinsey & Co.'s Center for U.S. Health System Reform found that only 12% of uninsured Americans would change their mind and enroll in Obamacare after they were made aware of the penalty. This could be good news for Republicans like Paul Ryan who are trying to create a GOP-friendly health care alternative to Obamacare. If uninsured Americans are not enrolling, then it will be easier politically for the Republicans to replace Obamacare.
