Two in Three Uninsured Americans Plan to Buy Insurance
Less than half say they will use the state or federal exchanges
by Frank Newport and Kyley McGeeney

PRINCETON, NJ -- Nearly two in three uninsured Americans say they will get insurance by Jan. 1, 2014, rather than pay a fine as mandated by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), while one in four say they will pay the fine. Less than half of the uninsured say they plan on getting health insurance specifically through a federal or state health insurance exchange.

I wonder how many of them think it will be free. Or if they buy it then their medical care will all be free.
