Not only did the Affordable Care Act require insurance companies to spend less money on marketing and overheard, but you could be the recipient of billions in rebates due to the regulation.
Better yet, the administration was clever enough to make sure it got credit for the rebates. Here's the line that will be included with every rebate check:
This letter is to inform you that you will receive a rebate of a portion of your health insurance premiums. This rebate is required by the Affordable Care Act — the health reform law.
That kicks all kinds of ass. It won't single-handedly change the perception of the law, but it'll help.
