...it just might come true. This is the lesson for many who opposed the Obamacare, and didn't realize that Obamacare and the ACA were the same thing, like this person here:

Apparently, for many the ACA was a lifesaver, and they remained heartily opposed to Obamacare.

ACA stands for "Affordable Care Act". The result of this plan was to increase everyone's premiums for insurance bought from private companies. Some affordable that was.

Don't forget the $7500-$10000 deductibles and reduced coverage.

High deductibles are the best way to reduce the cost inflation. If people don't have to pay anything, then they won't care about the costs. Insurance companies grow their companies when costs increase, so they don't care either. People don't view premium payments in the same way that they view copays.
