Get ready for the shitstorm.

All the plans cover the same benefits and cap annual out-of-pocket expenses at $6,350 for an individual, $12,700 for families.

You know what that is for a healthy individual? Worthless. Spending all that money every month and you still have thousands in out-of-pocket expenses.
If you have a preexisting condition that prevented you from getting care, or a chronic condition that's costing you more than $6,350 per year, you will make out well. If you are young and healthy and don't have insurance, you could be fucked. Those without health insurance also tend to be the ones who can't easily afford the extra monthly expense of premiums. Even with tax credits it's an extra expense forced on them, to preserve the insurance companies' profits. As if working class monthly budgets aren't already stretched thin...
This is going to be good. The labor unions are starting to bitch now but the shitstorm hasn't even started yet.
