21 percent of uninsured Americans don't use Internet

The online insurance marketplaces that are at the heart of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul struggled to handle the wave of new consumers on the first day of a six-month open-enrollment period, according to CBS DC. For 21 percent of those who are uninsured, however, the technical difficulties with accessing the online system don't matter, as they do not use the Internet, according to a release posted by the Pew Research Center. The information was discovered as part of Pew's Internet & American Life Project Health Survey, which was conducted between August 7 and September 6 of 2012. An estimated 3,014 randomly selected American adults participated in the survey.
