If you'd like to get an eye opening experience with all this, a couple of guys created a site that pulls off all the same sites the ACA does and you can essentially, use the site that's broken now, through their site. Took them 3 days to create it and it works. Go figure.
However, the frightening part is to start playing around with the income and plans. The part that I think is going to fire up a lot of people is that if you want a Gold plan (in my zip code), you're looking at $1,800 a month. If you make $30,000 a year, then you get that subsidized 100%. So the poorest people will be able to select plans that will cost the working class $1800 a MONTH and they'll get them for nothing. The working people will have to get the lowest coverage because it's all they can afford. It's really stunning to see what happens with the numbers. How a part time employee that makes $20,000 a year can have a better plan than someone that makes $100,000 a year is bizarre.
I think when people find out that they can only afford the bronze plan when people without jobs are getting the platinum plans people are going to come unglued.
