Americans "split" on removal of individual mandate

First off, a disclaimer -- I know that the source is CNN. But it's more a philosophical question.
Here's the stat:
Overall, 50% oppose removing the requirement to obtain coverage or pay a penalty, while 48% favor it.
The MOE was +/- 3%. So, this is a statistical tie; as such, the poll suggests that out of 100 people, half believe that a federal law is needed to mandate the purchase of a particular service.
How is this even possible?
I get the liberal vs conservative distinctions...but how is it possible that HALF of Americans think that the individual mandate is a good idea?

Trump is our POTUS. I've given up trying to understand our country.

They believe that the individual mandate means that everyone will be covered, not that everyone has to find coverage or else pay a fine.

What percentage of the population is getting a subsidy?

How many people avoided the mandate and paid the penalty?

Depends on how they worded the question. There's no way 50% of the country, right or left, could explain "the individual mandate" with consecutive, coherent sentences.

In other news people who get free s*** favor the continuance of free s***.

I think this is more accurate.

Have you people check to see how much subsidy one gets in where the income cut-offs are? Trust me this poll could have just as easily been called Americans who get insurance f****** cheap support making everyone else over pay for it so that their gravy train can continue

How many people on this board have Obamacare?
How many on this board will the new ACA effect?
If you think this is better listen to Rand Paul and his explanation.
For the same reason Rand Paul describes is the same reason people like certain parts of Obamacare.
Paying the money to insurance companies instead of the government is ignorant.

So replace insurance companies with a giant government agency with no inclination to be efficient or innovative to save what exactly?
Profit margin?

they understand how important profit is to the middlemen we call health insurance companies.
if we did not balance the sick people with healthy young people, it would be a real financial burden upon insurance companies IF we continued to require companies to insure people with a preexisting condition.
If there were no mandate, young healthy people would not buy insurance.
the ones for the mandate are saving the health insurance industry.
the alternative which works in Canada England and Sweden is universal health care.
yeah yeah lines. that is a result of the major parties fighting over money.
its only about the budget.
We in the USA do not have enough MDs as it is, without letting the poor have a family MD.
Why do you suppose Congress allows this to happen? AMA is happy with the control of the market, eh?

I am flummoxed to contemplate that most of you posters actually oppose providing medical care for everyone. Supposed Christians. I don't get it.
I am stunned that the public puts up with the system we have.
