I do know people that are getting coverage at reduced rates however they all make about 25K-30K a year if that
Therein is the rub of Obamacare.

Before Obamacare there was a group of people who worked, but didn't get health insurance through their work yet they didn't make enough money to buy insurance so they went without. Those people now get cheap or free medicaid. However, there is now a group of people that work for themselves or own businesses and they make too much money to get any kind of subsidies on their insurance so they have seen their rates go up. In some cases by quite a bit.
