Washington (CNN) – Support for the country's new health care law has dropped to a record low, according to a new national poll.
And a CNN/ORC International survey released Monday also indicates that most Americans predict that the Affordable Care Act will actually result in higher prices for their own medical care.
Only 35% of those questioned in the poll say they support the health care law, a 5-point drop in less than a month. Sixty-two percent say they oppose the law, up four points from November.

Pelosi knew.
How can that be, don’t they get free birth control?
REPEAL, REPEAL, REPEAL.
That makes no sense. I have it on the best authority that the Dems will run on ObamaCare in this election. Would Pelosi, Reid, Obama, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and the entire mainstream media lie to us?
You aint seen nothing yet. Wait until January when the real bad news starts around.
first paycheck.
Most people still expect this law to be changed so that people like them will get it at a low cost. They have a boundless faith in all things government.
But that doesn't mean I'm giving up. Work and pray. Work and pray...
Media spin is Marxist. Facts are Capitalist.
Imagine if the media just presented the fact.
1. If you are forced to enroll, what determines your premium?
2. Where do you send your premiums to?
If premiums are based on your income, what happens if you lose your job?
If premiums are based on income, what happens if you get a big raise or promotion? Do you have to notify someone?
Who's going to keep track of your income level in order to determine your premiums?
Which means, of course, that more and more Americans are becoming more and more racist. I mean... By the LSM’s “logic” and all...
The murder of Americans is just about to begin from
ObamaCARE. The REAL anger has not even begun, yet.
REPEAL, IMPEACH
Unless King Barack unilaterally changes the law again, the real disaster will strike when the employer mandate kicks in later this year,when King Barack’s decree exempting them expires,and millions of families lose their employer-provided plans. That is when tons of poop will hit the fan. Hopefully, this will be right before the Nov. elections and most Democrats will lose their seats.
The Obama economy’s new masses of part-timers who were barely making it by on 30-40 hours/week are now going down to 25 starting in January.
The IRS is your friend and can answer almost all of your questions - but there will be a fee....
That's the scary part. Support for Obamacare has dropped because Santa-Obama has been a failure at delivering promised free stuff. Not because there is a blanket realization that most, if not all, gov't social programs turn out to be dismal failures, and produce results that are 180 degrees away from what was promised.
Obviously, since the Supreme Court said that Obamacare is a tax, your premium must go to the US Treasury. Otherwise, it would probably violate several laws if we were forced to pay taxes directly to a private insurance company. And we're all well aware of how seriously this administration takes following the law.
1. The premium is determined by the type of plan you choose (Bronze, Gold, Silver, Platinum). People earning up to 400% of the poverty line are eligible for subsidies, but only if they go through the federal exchange or through a state exchange in a state that set up an exchange. You cannot get a subsidy by purchasing a plan directly through an insurer (bypassing the exchanges).
2. The insurance company whose plan you selected.
If you lose your job and have no income, you would probably qualify for a catastrophic plan for those who have financial hardship, or might qualify for Medicaid (which is available to people whose income is at the poverty level or 138% of the poverty level in states only that expanded the Medicaid program and accepted federal funding to do so.
If you make too much to be eligible for a subsidy, a big raise has no implications. If a big raise puts you above the level where subsidies are available, I’m not sure what happens or who you would notify.
Presumably, the IRS is going to keep track of your income level to determine your eligibility for a subsidy. But to date, there has not been a system set up to do that and presently, the IRS has been directed to just take peoples’ words for it - honor system.
I’ve answered your questions to the best of my ability, but because Obama changes the law every day, what I answered may be all wrong by tomorrow.
