Before ACA a person making $25000 per year had to pay 100% of health insurance cost. After they pay maybe 20% of the cost. The percentage of us without insurance got cut in half as a result. Millions through medicaid expansion pay zero, which is highly affordable. Before those millions had to pay 100% of the cost.
