Only a third of the public is aware that Congress repealed ObamaCare's individual mandate, according to a new poll released Friday.

Of those surveyed by the Kaiser Family Foundation, 36 percent said they're aware Congress repealed the requirement that most have insurance or pay a tax penalty, while 46 percent incorrectly said it has not been repealed. The rest — 18 percent — were not sure.

Congress repealed ObamaCare's mandate through tax reform at the end of last year.

The repeal doesn't take effect until 2019, however.
