I had marketplace health insurance last year. The coverage was so bad and deductibles so high, I didn't go to the doctor at all last year...even when I should have. The ACA is deeply flawed legislation and we should be working to create coverage that is usable.

I think that's a common response. Those who don't get the subsidies seem to think everyone has this horrible, expensive coverage that is basically catastrophic with a sort of free well visit. Those who have the subsidies feel immense relief, not always understanding the hardship.
The ACA in many ways pits the middle class against the lower middle class, instead of uniting everyone for a solution that works better for all of us. The hyper-partisan politics we have right now takes focus off the collaboration that should be occurring.
