Obamacare will double my monthly premium (according to Kaiser)

My wife and I just got our updates from Kaiser telling us
what our 2014 rates will be. Her monthly has been $168 this year, mine $150. We
have a high deductible. We are generally healthy people who don't go to the
doctor often. I barely ever go. The insurance is in case of a major
catastrophe.
Well, now, because of Obamacare, my wife's rate is going
to $302 per month and mine is jumping to $284.
I am canceling insurance for us and I am not paying any
fucking penalty. What the hell kind of reform is this?
Oh, ok, if we qualify, we can get some government
assistance. Great. So now I have to jump through another hoop to just chisel
some of this off. And we don't qualify, anyway, so what's the point?
I never felt too good about how this was passed and what
it entailed, but I figured if it saved Americans money, I could go along with
it.
I don't know what to think now. This appears, in my
experience, to not be a reform for the people.
What am I missing?
I realize I will probably get screamed at for posting
this, but I can't imagine I am the only Californian who just received a rate
increase from Kaiser based on these new laws.
UPDATE: Updated the title per some requests. I appreciate
all the helpful comments. I am now on baby duty but will go through
these later for more information. I can't keep up with all the comments right
now.
I really do appreciate the helpful comments. Peace all.
Peace out.*********
Until we have millions of Obama
supporters experiencing the sticker shock of Obamacare, nothing will change in
this country. It is our only hope so roll it out!
