my premiums go up every year, my copays and deductibles never go down, and this coming year's change is going to be even worse; so much so they keep calling meetings to talk about how to plan for it.

I didn't use my insurance before the ACA because I couldn't afford the copays and deductibles. I still can't, and I still don't get care for health issues because I still can't afford the copays and deductibles.
