Yeah it's ugly, and I'm super glad that my family has access to insurance as government employees. Interestingly enough, my wife's plan through the state is literally half the cost of what we'd pay for my insurance as a federal employee, despite offering the same coverage (mainly because the state kicks in more towards the premiums than the federals do).

To this day I don't understand the hatred of Obamacare, although Republican marketing efforts have gone a long way to explain it (given that 1/3 of Americans didn't know that the ACA and Obamacare are the same thing).
