The 64 year old making just enough money not to qualify for Medicaid will be the biggest loser. Their subsidies will be drastically cut, and thus their costs will sky rocket.
That's not really much of a solution since that's the guy who probably needs it most. My guess is the assumption by the plans crafters is costs will not go up at 25% a year. Realistically, at some point, virtually no one will be able to afford healthcare if it just keeps going up 25% a year. So, somewhere along the way, the increases have to moderate or go the other way or the whole healthcare system collapses anyway.
