The ACA is bad for people that even do care and even initially supported the ACA, like myself. It has plenty of good parts, but I have to be honest, my choices of insurance options went to almost nothing, and the prices skyrocketed. Part of this may have to do with certain parties in Congress purposely underfunding the ACA to make it fail, so I don't know how much blame goes to the ACA and how much goes to those trying to sabotage it. However, the fact remains that my health insurance options have generally been worse and more expensive since ACA passed. This year, thankfully, I am on employer healthcare plan instead. Because in my area, with the ACA, there is one provider only, and none of the plans are good, and they're all more expensive than before, and at least 2x what I was paying pre-ACA and with MUCH MUCH higher deductables. |

Your options are fewer now because you have to be bigger to able to absorb the costs of the extremely high cost individuals such as those with anemia and premature babies and cancer patients.
Everything you’re experiencing is because more people are getting access to healthcare, and instead of everyone paying for it via higher taxes, we’re paying for it via higher premiums and deductibles.
Only way to bring relief is through more supply of healthcare, which means more doctors (they lobby against that) and more medicine (they lobby against that too).
One solution is to marry a doctor so you can take advantage of the situation.
