DescriptionAsked whether they plan to get insurance when the requirement takes effect or pay the fine for not doing so, 65 percent of uninsured Americans said they would get health insurance, according to a Gallup poll out Monday. Twenty-five percent said they would pay the fine.

Gallup also asked about the whether those individuals planned to use the exchange markets that launch Tuesday to buy their insurance. Almost half, 48 percent, said they planned to use the exchanges, 36 said they did not and 17 percent weren’t sure.

Over the weekend, the House passed a government funding bill that would delay the individual mandate from taking effect for one year, even though the president has threatened to veto it and Senate Democrats say they will not vote for it.
