I find it distressing that in article after article the actual problem with the Affordable Care Act is never covered in plain language.

The Affordable care act will not lead to affordable care. Health costs will skyrocket because of mandated coverage.

As far back as I remember it has been illegal for me to buy simple catastrophic coverage. I must pay for things I don't want or forgo coverage altogether. With the ACA we are taking a big step in the wrong direction and costs can only go up due to the perverse financial incentives built into the law.
