My premiums for an individual plan through bcbs were 5x lower prior to ACA than what I paid last year.


Not the same plan and benefits, surely. You're in the 3% of the population in the individual market without subsidies, and got hit hardest. Let's fix the law to help you a bit, instead of destroying it and ruining 20M people's insurance at the same time.

What about the $6,000 deductible? You never mention that. I'm not even sure about the out of pocket maximum once that ridiculous deductible is met.

That is similar to having no insurance for many if the so-called "insured."

A huge chunk of that 20 million went on Medicare, not on the marketplace. Medicare that is going to ruin many state budgets in the future because of the expansion.

These 20 million people who now have insurance, what is their deductibles?

I know many people in the middle class who have high deductibles now. They have insurance but they can't use it. Their deductibles are too high.

Healthcare costs keep rising as a percent of GDP. I thought they were to level off? What happened?

So lets subsidize until everyone is happy?
