Under the current law, the ACA supplies financial air through the individual marketplace to customers who would otherwise spend more than 9.83% of their personal income on their company's offered health plan premium for employee-only healthcare coverage.
Paying very high premiums is common for most people including their family on their plan. Lower and middle-class families have been hindered from obtaining affordable healthcare coverage through the consumer marketplace because a spouse has been offered very expensive employer-sponsored healthcare coverage.
