My old insurance had all those things, now I have a deductible that went from $500 per individual to $2000. Family went from $1000 deductible to $10,000.
Simply, I pay more in premiums, higher deductible so worse by far financially. The middle class is paying for those who get subsidies and the middle class now work 2 jobs to pay for insurance while the subsidy people sit on their rear end and get money from them.
The bulk of our healthcare is already subsidized. Medicare/Medicaid aside, employer-based healthcare got something like $300 billion in annual subsidies pre-ACA. It has a tax free option to employees, but a refundable business expense to employers.
Personally, I've been pretty happy. My company stopped increasing what I was getting charged a few years ago after a steady climb year after year. This is the first year my monthly fee went up, about $30 or so.
