Obamacare customers who do not receive government help to pay for health insurance are expected to look for ways to reduce their costs during this open enrollment season by going uninsured, buying less extensive coverage or altering their incomes.

Others may choose to go uninsured or reduce their incomes so they can receive federal assistance.
