When you consider that the bottom 40% of wage earners pay virtually 0 in income taxes, I'd say there's a fairly equal number of folks who this applies to.

As it stands, employees' premiums have gone up an average of 750 bucks over the last three years, not just their copay's, in what amounts to a "hidden tax". Not to mention the growing and worrying trend by chains such as Walmart to cut health benefits to their non-union workers.
