Talking about Obamacares effects is one thing; seeing hard data is another.
Heritages newly updated Obamacare in Pictures has 15 charts that show the laws effects on Americansfrom canceled insurance policies to new taxes, Medicare cuts, reduced choice for plans, and more.
Heres a quick look at just three of these charts and how Obamacare is hitting three groups.
Obamacare says you can stay on your parents health insurance until you turn 26. This chart looks at what happens after thatif you dont have employer-sponsored insurance and you have to get insured through Obamacare. If youre trying to save for a car or houseor just paying rent to have your own placeseeing your premiums double is quite a blow.
SENIORS
You may recall Heritage experts warning that Obamacare would cut $716 billion from Medicare. Thats still happening.
Despite the Obama administrations recent walking back of Medicare Advantage cuts for this year, Obamacares planned cuts to Medicare are moving forward. This chart shows which parts of Medicare are affected.
Heritage expert Alyene Senger has explained that, instead of cutting waste, fraud, and abuse in the Medicare program, Obamacare targets the amounts Medicare service providers are paid. These cuts have ripple effects on seniors. Doctors, nursing homes, and other providers who cant afford to be part of Medicare any more will cut back or stop participatingand that means fewer options and less access to care for seniors.
ALL AMERICANS
This chart looks a lot like a heartbeatand it tracks one of Obamacares vital signs: public opinion. There has been a 10-point gap between support for and opposition to the law for some time now. That spike in opposition/sharp decline in support? It coincides with the flood of cancellation notices that landed in Americans mailboxes last year.
Obamacare remains unpopular because its raising taxes, killing jobs, and cutting Americans health care choices. We need health reform that reverses these trends.

What a great trove of campaign topics for the RNC. Too bad they are now supporting Obamacare.
It’s why the R’s completely lost my support, permanently, in W’s first term. They had total control and nothing changed.
