For the 1/10 of 1% who may read this and haven't already made up their minds, here is a pretty good article on who will pay more and who won't under the ACA.

Bottom line, if you get your insurance through your employer, like most folks, you'll do fine. If not, and you work for someone who forces you to forage in the viscous and cut-throat individual market, you'll pay more, but at least your get a decent policy for a change instead of having a better than 50/50 chance of getting a piece of shit that really doesn't pay when you have a very serious illness. (And if you had any real pre-existing condition, you never had much chance of getting that.) If you're young and healthy, you're going to pay more. If you smoke, you're going to pay more. But otherwise, you're fine.
