The fix, rather than go back to faster rising cost and being dropped when you are sick, is the Medicare for all option. That's the only thing I have against the ACA, it still leaves insurance companies in the middle of our health care needs. And that's expensive whether you like your insurance companies or not because the giants have carved up the country and control prices for their own bottom line.
Most people are finding out their insurance is junk any way, so like is the wrong word. Scammed would fit better. So the fact your costs are going up has nothing to do with the ACA in the first place. They have been going up for decades any way.
I doubt we go back to the way it was before ACA. Even repub governors who hollered before are embracing Medicaid expansion, and that's a part of the ACA too.
That if you like it thing has already been proven wrong, Tal so don't insult us with line any more. But I see you've adopted Pelosi's Orwellian meme.

Well, some people don’t have health insurance, and certainly will have their premiums go up, because they don’t have health insurance now so they don’t have any premiums now. But for anyone that that is a challenge there are subsidies in the exchanges, and it’s also about what you get for the money. In other words, people will getting no lifetime or annual limits on their coverage, no discrimination because of preexisting medical condition. It has a whole array of quality that is in the legislation. But, if you don’t have health insurance and you don’t qualify for a subsidy and you’re mandated to have health insurance, yes, you will have an increase. We’re very sensitive to what it means for young people, especially young singles, and there are policies that people can get. I don’t remember saying that everybody in the country would have a lower premium, because everybody in the country doesn’t have health insurance, so how could it be lower. But the fact is, the value of what you get for the cost that you pay is a reduction is a reduction in cost to you. And if you don’t have insurance, you’re going to pay something that you didn’t pay before, but if you can’t afford it, you can have a subsidy… For everybody, it is going to be, again, a liberation, a freedom…
