Survey: 51
Percent of People Who Used Obamacare Exchanges Last Year Won't Use Them
Again

According to a new study conducted by Bankrate.com, a majority of
Americans who used the Obamacare healthcare exchanges last year through
Healthcare.gov don't plan on doing so again this year when open
enrollment begins on November 15.
"Those who experienced the rocky rollout of the Obamacare health
exchanges firsthand are feeling nervous about prices and wary of
technical glitches on the eve of the second open enrollment period,
according to the latest Bankrate Health Insurance Pulse survey. All of
the survey respondents were from households that used the exchanges
during the initial open enrollment last fall and winter," Bankrate.com
states about the study. "Within that group of respondents, a slight
majority -- 52 percent -- report they had a positive experience, and 53
percent feel confident that the online health insurance marketplace
will operate smoothly this time around. In an earlier Bankrate survey,
only 39 percent of the general population expressed confidence that the
exchanges will work well during the new signup season. On the other
hand, a slight majority of the exchange veterans (51 percent) say they
don't plan to return for round two, which begins Nov. 15."
