You realize they choose the bronze plan so they can pay less right? They're not forced into having an 8k deductible. They do this so they can have less taken out of pocket and only really use the healthcare in a major emergency. This would support the idea that people prefer the US system and not universal healthcare.

They choose the Bronze plan because it's literally all they can afford.

My family's ACA Platinum plan costs me $2,200/month this year, and there's still $4k of copays a year to meet.
