The ACA plans are essentially catastrophic plans, at least the "bronze" plans that most will choose due to lower premiums are. So, now instead of collecting from insurances we will be collecting from individuals. Good luck with that. It does keep people from being saddled with a life time of debt due to a big medical bill but it does not make access for non-preventive care any better than having no insurance. This is a great deal for the insurance companies. Just watch the executives take home big pay days over the next few years.
