Fifty-two percent of women polled in a Lippe Taylor survey said Obamacare will be bad for women as half believe the federal healthcare law is a confusing policy.

Only 22% believe the law will benefit their families, according to the online survey of 1,089 women by SheSpeaks, conducted Sept. 13-17.

As health insurance exchanges are set to debut Oct. 1, LT, which specializes in PR targeting women, found uncertainty and doubt from women regarding the new policies under the Affordable Care Act.

The LT poll results are in-line with broader gauges of public sentiment toward the federal law. A Harris Poll released this week found 70% of Americans not at all or not very familiar with the term health insurance exchange.

Despite the ramp up of federal PR efforts regarding the ACA, LT found only 30% of women knew the date exchanges are set to open and 61% said they are not very or not at all familiar with the ACA. Fifty-one percent said they don't know if they'll be forced to change their primary care doctor as the ACA rolls out.
