The horrible irony is that, whatever happens now, less people will be insured and a lot of those who are will be brought to the edge of poverty by either buying something they can't afford or paying a penalty for not doing so.

The best I can tell is that the cost of everything at least doubles under ACA for healthy people. So someone that has a gold or platinum plan now will only be able to afford the bronze plan com the first of the year. I fiddled with a few numbers for my zip code. Even people that are eligible for a bit of subsidy under ACA will still be paying more in premiums than if they bought coverage in 2013..
