while being unaware they are enrolled in ACA insurance plans"?

That has the distinct ring of a BS RW-talking point but I'm curious if anyone knows the details on this alleged "concern"?

the ACA income levels are not bad.

Someday, we'll have a rational system without this chit, but it ain't gonna happen before Jan 1 and likely not until we clean our Congress and regain Presidency. Until then, we are stuck with subsidies and stopgaps that still leave millions uncovered.

Retirees who are facing big increases in premiums (Both Medicare itself along with premiums from the insurance companies that provide advantage plans or Medigap plans).

I am facing an increase From $185 to 202.90 for the medicare base premium
In addition, I am now faced with increase of $50 to go from a $0 Insurance company premium to a $50 premium if I want to maintain the same level of coverage.
If I decide to stay with $0 added on premium from the actual insurance company, then my copays go up and I lose dental coverage that normally included X-rays and restorative care.

Ridiculous.
