Hey, if it hasn't worked for you, that's fine... I'm not making **** up about my personal experiences.
I had to change insurance providers to get the same price, but I actually switched to a provider that I prefer, so I'm ok with it.
Also, of note, I'm relatively young, and healthy, so I'm not attached to "my doctor", and I don't have prescriptions to worry about, so I have no clue if those prices went up or not. For me, the ACA has worked well... going in for a general check up doesn't cost me anything, when it used to. Prices went up every year for me, until this year. The only change this year, was that my company gave us access to an insurance exchange, whereas before they chose the company for us. Competition is good, I think both conservatives and progressives can agree on that. No clue if ACA is what caused my company to take part in an exchange, or if it's simply more profitable for them.
Anyways... "Obamacare" is kinda funny in that it's based on old conservative ideas, yet when Democrats implemented it, it became a "progressive idea"... yet, speak to most progressives, and they'll tell you that this is a bandaid at best, and we really should implement a single payer system. (which has it's pros and cons, as we've seen here in debate) This whole subject kinda created a large divide over what's relatively small changes.
