Keep in mind that being insured is just a label. Just because you have insurance, what good is it with a $5,000 deductible, when you're spending $3,000-$4,000 out of pocket in medical expenses anyways? You're still paying that amount out of pocket with a high deductible, but now you're forced to pay these premiums, which are on the rise. Yeah, you "have insurance" but what good does it to you if you never get to use it? It does nothing to actually reduce out of pocket medical expenditures. Sure, it could come in handy if you get in a nasty car wreck or have a freak accident, but it's important to remember that even though these are big headline stories, they're not as common in proportion to the 99% of the healthcare utilization in this country, which is general medical services like a family practice or the occasional referral to a specialist. And even if you go see a specialist, insurance won't kick in unless you meet your deductible, and then you're still on the hook for the first 5 grand.
My point is this: The reason the law was put into place was because healthcare was "unafforable" and "millions of Americans were uninsured", but having insurance doesn't mean shit unless it's good insurance. It's a freakin political tagline; that's it. They want to be able to say "I helped millions of Americans get covered under health insurance!" They're still broke though. Healthcare in general is still unafforable.
