Insurance premiums have been on a steady sloped upwards march since the 1970s.

You may want to go look at how all the individual attributes of the ACA poll once they're phrased that way and not as in "Obamacare"

People were not happy with the system. I'm old enough to remember the pre-existing condition bullshit insurance companies pulled to avoid paying out in all situations. They classified the stroke my mother had in 2004 as a preexisting condition and refused coverage sending my family into bankruptcy.

It was still a bandaid solution on a rotting wound but this revisionist history of the pre-ACA era does not exist.
