>>Furthermore, premiums have gone up year-over-year every year almost every year since I've been paying for my own insurance -- and that's well before ACA.

Not only that, but they were increasing at a much faster rate before the ACA. Of course, most people didn't notice, because those who were employed were covered by their employer, and the unemployed were uninsured.

And also, it was very easy for insurance companies to drop a few expensive procedures in the small print to maintain the same premiums. Then, when customers actually had to use their insurance, they get screwed.
