Yeah, I don't understand how some people are happy about this. The plans for these have outrageous deductibles, extremely small networks, high co-pays, and we are FORCED to buy them.

The big unanswered question. I don't personally know any single people or families who didn't or couldn't afford to buy health insurance before that suddenly have a few extra hundred dollars a month to throw around now.

According to the Kaiser ACA premium calculator , a single, nonsmoker age 45 earning $8,000 a year (part time minimum wage job or a full time job bartending/waitressing) in a state that did not expand Medicaid would have to pay 50% of their income towards health insurance.
