Abstract

The Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, has been the subject of much political opprobrium, ranging from skyrocketing premiums (25 percent or more on average), which force so many families off the insurance rolls; deductibles as high as $12,700.00, which make a mockery of any rational notion of health care “coverage;” to the virtual forced withdrawal of health care companies from the exchanges in many states and counties, leaving many of them with as little as one available healthcare option.
