Nearly half of all Americans with employer-based health insurance plans
say more money is being taken out of their paychecks for health insurance
compared to a year ago, and 44 percent are facing higher out-of-pocket

Princeton Survey Research Assocs. International and Bankrate.com.
Americans with annual household incomes between $50,000 and $74,999 with
employer-based health insurance have been impacted most: 47% of respondents
in this demographic report a negative effect on their health insurance, a
much higher percentage than any other income level . . .
The survey shows that 48 percent of Americans would choose to repeal the
Affordable Care Act, compared to 46 percent in September. Currently, only
36 percent would choose to keep it.
Cold weather and New Jersey bridge scandals may chase the bad news about
Obamacare out of the headlines for a while, but the law’s ramifications and
