Battleground voters are worried sick about higher costs blowing holes in their budgets and kicking millions off their coverage.

Meanwhile, 3 in 5 Americans nationwide believe that the law has driven up costs and resulted in worse economic outcomes. This November, voters will not forget who put billionaires ahead of working families and will put Republicans’ feet to the fire.
