Poll: Obamacare individual mandate opposition at all-time high

Opposition to the individual mandate is at an all-time high, according to a new Rasmussen poll.

Fifty-eight percent of Americans don’t believe the government should require every American to have health insurance, up from 54 percent last month. Just 33 percent of likely voters support the mandate, a cornerstone of the president’s health care reform law.

The peak comes just weeks before the individual mandate kicks in on Jan. 1. The Obama administration and state exchanges are in the midst of a last-minute push to enroll as many Americans in Obamacare coverage as possible before the deadline, but things are looking iffy.

Although the number of Americans that have selected a health care plan via an exchange is still at just 30 percent of the levels the Obama administration needed, consumers that have made it almost all the way through the application process still might not end up getting their coverage Jan. 1.

The Department of Health and Human Services revealed over the weekend that as many as 15,000 applications on the federal exchange HealthCare.gov are incorrect due to errors in the 834 enrollment files sent from the federal government to insurance carriers.
