This is a confusing article to read because the author never makes clear why he is the guy getting screwed; what his particular circumstances are, how they are different from other groups of people who might be benefiting from ACA, and what other groups of people similar to him might be getting screwed as well. Without this context, I don't know what to take away from this article.
To be fair, it's not a stand-alone article but rather one in a series of posts. In an earlier one the author wrote "I'm in that tiny minority that already buys his own individual coverage and will lose access to doctors and hospitals I currently use. I'm in that tiny minority who won't have a hospital within 20 miles of his home."
