Bronze coverage is pretty much the same thing you used to pay 35 to 50$ a month for, it's not a viable "full coverage" plan; it's more akin to insurance against catastrophic loss, and coverage rates are determined at the state level, but let's be real honest here, it should be determined as a function relative to to the cost-of-living on the county-level here in California, as there is a substantial difference in the cost of living in Fresno vs San Jose.
Technically, I'm just going to bite the bullet and sign on with my company's 75% cost-shared comprehensive HMO plan at the start of open enrollment next year. Same net cost out of my pocket as state healthcare, but it actually covers everything since my employer was wise enough to never change the healthcare plan he had his company running since before Obamacare made it illegal to privately insure yourself (at 15% of the current cost) with the same bullshit that Bronze is peddling for over 6x the cost.
