Obamacare has actually worked out pretty well for me. Before this I only had what is called a catastrophic policy because I have asthma and couldn't get regular insurance (since I work for myself). Since I'm on old fart of 42, under Obamacare I am too old to keep my catastrophic plan (which sucked anyway since it didn't cover doctor visits, medicine or anything that wasn't life threatening) so it was canceled. I went onto the exchanges and had about 30-40 choices. I picked a decent silver plan and ended up paying about $75 per month more than I was with my catastrophic plan, but this new plan covers prescriptions, doctor visits and more. So I am spending more for the insurance, but after my deductible is met ($2,000) I will actually be saving about $300 per month on medication costs not to mention going to do the doctor a few times per year so it will actually end up being better coverage that costs me less.
