I feel like I’ve read that publication.
My family went from employer-provided insurance in 2013 to private insurance in 2014. The 2014 plan was comparable to one available through the ACA Marketplace. In 2015 we purchased through the ACA, and in 2016 we purchased a plan privately that was essentially the same as the ACA plan we tried to get but couldn’t.
Our ACA premium for 2017 is 100% higher than the 2014 premium. It’s fine to rightfully point out that things could be a lot worse without the ACA, but they’re still terrible with it. I think all that can be said for the ACA is that it bought us some time.
