From the article:

group coverage is good in that no one can be denied.

Per the ACA nobody can be denied, even in private coverage. Good thing your worry will be gone due to the ACA.

but it can also be higher in cost for the youngest and healthiest employees, as they are subsidizing the overall cost-which is higher for some, lower for others.

Cost which is brought down by insurance exchanges allowing non-profits to participate.

but i'm being optimistic that the scotus will overturn what is unconstitutional. there is no way the commerce clause will be interpreted as the proper tool to force people to buy a product-even if it's 'for their own good'. who wants the govt deciding that?

The Republican Party. "Everyone must be self-responsible and purchase health insurance". It's their health plan. Similar to the one Mitt Romney instituted to great success.

You're insured, right 'Zig? You take advantage of your increased preventive care benefits yet? Pap smear? Mammogram?

20.4 million women with private insurance now can get free preventive care. That means they can get life-saving cancer screenings like mammograms and can have their contraception covered without paying a co-pay or deductible. They’re living healthier lives while saving money at the same time.
