So does Obamacare only affect poors/unemployeds? I signed up for insurance through work last month and nothing has changed.
It affects everyone.
For an elite 1%-3%, it will be great. We'll have concierge-level care that will initially be very expensive but then market forces will drive the cost down to a very livable level.
Everyone else will be fucked.
So how does Obamacare affect me, if not at the cost-of-insurance point? From what I saw, deductables and Rx coinsurances remained constant with last year.

Employers will eventually raise your deductibles until you're afraid to seek-out care. We'll offer a wellness program that you can participate in to blunt some of the cost, but it won't cover all of the deductible. Plus we'll raise the cost for family and children (BarryCare calls for a 60% cost plan on the employee, but it is silent regarding spouses and children).
Here in a few years, you'll get frustrated and then we'll offer to just dump you into an exchange. By then, you'll be happy with it and just agree.
Good luck finding a doctor though. That part will suck. You'll essentially be on Medicaid, but it will have a cool name like "UnitedHealth Health Advantage Plus". By then the web site should work too, so you can sign-up for it lickity-split!
So someone like me who has no primary care doc, has an Aetna family plan through work and when I rarely get sick go to Patient First with my $1000.00 pretax healthcare savings Visa card, why should I fucking care?
