With just five days left of open enrollment for Obamacare, 61% of uninsured people are unaware of the March 31 deadline to sign up for health care coverage, according to a Kaiser Health Tracking Poll.  When those uninsured people are reminded of the March 31 deadline, 50% say they will still not obtain coverage. 

Another key finding to the poll was that only 10% of Americans believe that Obamacare will make health care more affordable and control costs. What’s more, just 7% of those polled think that Obamacare will be good for the country.

Here are other findings of the March 2014 Kaiser Health Tracking Poll:

    A Whopping 67% of those uninsured between the ages of 18 and 64 say they have not tried to obtain healthcare insurance in the last six months

    Unfavorable views of the law continue to outpace favorable ones, the gap between negative and positive views now stands at eight percentage points

    A third of those who lack coverage as of mid-March are unaware that the law requires nearly all Americans to have health insurance or pay a fine
