please enlighten me as to why I, a 25 year old, had a 200% increase in my premiums since the start of Obamacare.
The plan you're purchasing now has no annual or lifetime cap, EHBs, and other things your previous plan didn't have.
Additionally, if your state didn't expand Medicaid you're stuck funding those you shouldn't be.
But at 25, why not stay on your parents' plan? That's easy!

I know this will come as a great shock to a liberal, but some people actually do want to be self sufficient. Hard to grasp, I know.

Well I don't have the luxury of having both of my parents alive. So there's that. Plus even if they were alive I wouldn't stay on their insurance. At 25 you should be a grown man.

This argument is dumb because the doubled premiums completely destroys the value of the added benefits for the vast majority of the people in the US. Before the ACA, I tailor the "EHBs" to fit my life, but now everyone MUST have everybody else's needs covered in addition to what each individual wants.
So...

Is out the window with the fact that ACA helps a small percentage of the country. The ACA is bad for the vast majority and is bad for working class individuals who provide their own insurance.
And if you work in healthcare, you know there are most certainly "limits" to coverage.

Yep, so let's all enjoy the cost of providing care to those at higher risk in their "working" age even before they retire and go on MC and we continue to pay for them. Instead of those individuals buying a plan that may cover what they need at an age that they can afford the increased premiums since they are no longer raising kids, shouldn't have enormous debt unless they were irresponsible and may even have saved money for the expense of healthcare in a HSA.
The ACA tries to solve a small problem of "the uninsured" using ERs for their healthcare with sweeping legislation that drastically raises premiums for the working class. The ACA is a failure already whether it has imploded yet or will ever implode. We all know that the wonderful people in DC will bail out entitlements until the country and our economy resembles the rest of the socialized western countries now clamoring for cheap labor from 3rd world economies because they don't complain about the subsidized healthcare and will continue to vote for liberals to get more entitlements.
Just keep killing the middle class.
