…or for that matter, know what it’s supposed to be:

More than half of Americans (55 percent) still don’t know that the deadline to sign up for health insurance under PPACA is March 31, according to a Bankrate.com report released Monday. Confusion over the deadline was highest among the 18-to-29 age group, those who make less than $30,000 annually, and those without college degrees.

About one in four Americans (24 percent) incorrectly think the deadline already passed on Jan. 1. And 11 percent think they have until Dec. 31 to sign up, a full nine months after the deadline.

…..

Further potentially hindering the law’s success is the fact that many Americans aren’t taking the deadline to sign up for Obamacare seriously. The survey found that 62 percent of Americans think the government will push the deadline back to a later date.

Though Bankrate analysts said many people who aren’t paying close attention to the law already have health insurance through work, the survey’s findings still are concerning.

“It’s especially worrisome that young adults — who are the most likely to be uninsured — are the least informed about the deadline and the most likely to think it will be moved,” said Bankrate insurance analyst Doug Whiteman. “Obamacare’s success hinges on young, healthy Americans signing up, so if they continue to procrastinate past the deadline, it could cause insurance premiums to increase.”

Now why in the world would anybody think that Obamacare deadlines might get put off? -this currently links to its archive.org page – Admin.

Hmmm. I wonder.

Silly kids, not taking the deadline seriously.

Therefore, OBAMACARE MUST BE DESTROYED.
