That point was 100% clear to me back in 2010. I fail to understand why these people didn't get it as well.

As a candidate for president, Barack Obama sold his signature universal health care plan with the promise that it would "cut the cost of a typical family's premium by up to $2,500 a year."
Now that the Affordable Care Act exchanges are open for business, voters are finding that the biggest problem with Obamacare isn't that some Web sites crashed last week but that the Obama promise of big savings for the average family was too good to be true.
Now that the exchanges are open for business, people who already have individual coverage have something new to not like: sticker shock. The Affordable Care Act isn't affordable after all.
Last week, I began hearing from readers whose individual policy premiums are going up, not down. A local architect sent me a notice he received from Kaiser informing him that his individual coverage will increase by $199.95 per month, or 78.9 percent. When he added his two sons, the percentage increase was even greater.
A freelance journalist told me she made $98,000 last year. But she and her retired husband, both 51, wouldn't pay $7,200 in premiums for high-deductible coverage. It's cheaper to pay the fine, she said. Besides, she added, "we're healthy."
A reader writes that her premiums will rise considerably, and she doesn't think she qualifies for a subsidy.
It is becoming increasingly clear that while poor working families will have access to their own health care policies at affordable rates - affordable, because they are subsidized - middle-class and affluent people stand to pay more. Forget that $2,500 savings.

Not according to what was posted.
I’m going to research it, but if you’ve looked into any of this, the wording is incredibly complex.
The whole program is a “full employment” program for attorneys.
Welcome to the Tea Party, San Francisco!
there ya go
we were both healthy too until one Saturday morning and one heart attack
the hospital bill for 3 days was $44,000 and that didn’t include everythng
the cardiac therapy and medication regime continues
the good news is eventually they WILL qualify for a subsidy
The bad news is they’ll be living in their car
What I find amazing is that there are people—people besides the urban mobs—who actually thought Obama had clue about what this garbage would do to healthcare costs.
designed to fail
is there any one who doubts that this was supposed to fail miserably?
They will blame it on capitalism, lol
For 3 1/2 years all my liberal friends have been laughing at me, talking down to me and lecturing me about the goodness and joys of Obamacare.
Those people can now kiss my ass.
Yep. the exact intent. Make it so complicated you need bureaucrats to tell you what’s in it. I am still baffled to how the American People accept a tax system that basically requires you to pay someone to understand it for you. We don’t need term limits as bad as we need page limits on legislation and laws.
Unless you move to another state, which is doable in the event of emergency.
Good luck with that one....
Every democrat who voted yea on the "Affordable Care Act" should be impeached and disbarred.
Then let the public get their hands on em.
Then start with Boehner and McConnell who's only real objection to the law is that it would effect them and their staff. Their emails prove it. Tar & Feather boyz.
They were enthralled by a bamboozling conman who promised FREE healthcare for all. And again in 2012.
They have learned a hard lesson, hopefully:
There’s no such thing as a ‘free lunch’.
AND
There’s no such thing as ‘free healthcare’..................

An increase of $199.95 a month would take the food out of my mouth.
Maybe Michelle is behind this so we will lose weight.
It seems as though if a politician has a (D) after his name, he is incapable of telling the truth.
Don’t forget that he “sold” this scheme to only about 33% of the voters (according to several polls at the time.)
‘Rat voters keep falling for the same lies and glittering generalities decade after decade — and America has suffered for their gullibility.
Carpe scrotum.
And their hearts and minds will surely follow.
Yeah, right. Wonder if the Pharaoh of Egypt had this much trouble with putting the Israelites in captivity.
Time for a Moses to step forth and lead those who have chosen not to follow “the Way of the Won”.
“My way or the highway” would be a fine choice, if there WERE a highway to take out of this rat’s nest of a country that now exists in the territory once known as “the United States of America.
Mexicans have a really good deal. When they realize how backward that territory north of the Rio Grande has become, they may always go home to the enlightened and much more modern state that Mexico is. At least, more enlightened and modern than their northern neighbor.
No.
Most citizens have been conditioned to 'doublethink'.
Those who don't will be dealt with.
