My family's absurdly high medical bills began in 2012, when the ACA took away our healthcare, then penalized us every year since for taking it away. 
50% of the people I work with, all who had insurance prior to the ACA no longer have it due to costs which have exploded since its passage. 
And for those I know that have insurance? None of them can afford the deductibles under the ACA, so they're paying for something that they can NEVER use.
