Abstract:
At a Glance. (1) More adults support repealing the individual mandate than support keeping it, but nearly one-third are not sure whether the mandate should be kept or repealed. (2) Opinions on keeping or repealing the mandate vary considerably by income, race/ethnicity, and educational attainment. (3) Adults who support keeping the mandate recognize the value of pooling risk. (4) Opposition to risk pooling is not a top reason for supporting repeal of the mandate. (5) Adults who support repealing the mandate acknowledge the importance of having health insurance.
