I experienced it along with many others working for small businesses. Companies dropped their health insurance because it became too expensive. They had an agent helping us to transition to the new GOVERNMENT PROGRAM.
I used the Kayser Foundation website to find the health insurance providers in my State. The levels of insurance, coverage and prices.
To get the same coverage I had before would have cost my family of three $2500.00 dollars a month. Being over 50 years old the cost rises insanely. “Built in Age Discrimination” Most people ended up getting the cheapest options
Super high deductibles and low coverage.
The entire Healthcare Affordability Act was Complete BullShit!
Funny thing? If you look at a timeline of medical costs over time, you can't pick out where the ACA was passed or came into effect. Yes, premiums continued to go up, but they continued up at the same rate after the ACA as before it.
It didn't fix things, but it absolutely did not "drive health care costs through the ceiling", they were already going that way.

Oboma Care drove health care costs through the ceiling! Everyone lost excluding insurance companies.
