I've only heard a few pieces on NPR, but this is what I've gathered thus far: There will be low-cost alternatives offered, though I don't know if these will be under direct state control or if they've just made arrangements with private providers or what. People who make less than 300% poverty level income get special deals, though I no longer remember exactly what those deals will be (free, or extra discount, or what). The people I most worry about are the ones making just above 300% who don't get insurance through work, because frankly that's not a huge amount of money given how much individual policies can cost. I don't know how expensive the plans they'll be eligible for will be.
