Remember - the question asks people about their own costs. So would pro-Obama economists disagree? Or would they privately accept with these numbers - or even call them optimistic?

Americans Believe Obamacare Will Raise Premiums
He pays approximately 10k/year to insure 15 employees and their families, including vision and dental.
If ObamaoControl passes, the company insurance benefit WILL go away, and our family alone will pay over 15k/year (money we now use to contribute to our retirement savings) because of our income level alone. Yet we will receive nothing by way of 'benefits' for four years; and if we don't pay that premium we will face stiff fines and/or imprisonment.
Can some ObamaoControl supporter please tell me HOW this is 'cheaper', 'better' and more 'compassionate' than what we've already got and are happy with?
