will be less than they are paying now. No longer will people with preexisting conditions be priced out of the market, and people who develop expensive illnesses won't have to worry that their insurance will be dropped. The bronze plans that you mention are the least expensive plans, not the most expensive, and the out-of-pocket expenses will be limited -- not astronomical.

For those with the lowest incomes, if they don't live in a state run by Rethugs (sorry for those who do!), they will have access to a greatly expanded Medicaid program.

The ACA isn't perfect but your post makes it clear that you haven't yet educated yourself on the details. It isn't too late. Go here:
