Why? employers everywhere are cutting hours so that they need not pay for employees healthcare, if you do get the opportunity to decline you end up having to pay fines for not having health care by the end of the year. I understand healthcare is important but millions of people may rely on lower paying jobs to sustain themselves, if you're barely able to make it on $10 an hour at 40 hours a week now, I highly doubt you'll be able to do it at 25 to 30.

I don't think we can say that as it doesn't really kick in until next year. So far the only things that have kicked in is teh pre-existing condition exemption and the ability to keep a child on your healthcare until 23.
