Uninsured not buying Affordable Care Act policies because policies are not affordable.

Oops. Was that supposed to happen?


Only 11% of consumers who bought new coverage under the law were previously uninsured, according to a McKinsey & Co. survey of consumers thought to be eligible for the health-law marketplaces. The result is based on a sampling of 4,563 consumers performed between November and January, of whom 389 had enrolled in new insurance. 
One reason for people declining to purchase plans was affordability. That was cited by 52% of those who had shopped for a new plan but not purchased one in McKinsey's most recent sampling, performed in January. Another common problem was technical challenges in buying the plans, which 30% mentioned.
Here's the score so far:
You can't keep your plan.
You can't keep your doctor.
Your premiums are going up.
The uninsured can't buy plans because they are unaffordable.
