This happened to me. I had what is considered a "Cadillac plan" which my employer offered generously as a benefit. After ACA, the government began to tax that plan and our public company could not justify that while other companies in our market were offering much lower quality plans. Thus my medical spending rose by thousands of dollars per year (also thanks to an unfortunate @$3000 hospital stay but that would have cost me $250 on my old plan). The old plan did of course come with a lifetime max but obviously was not a factor at my age yet.
I think the ACA does good things for people who needed it. And generally I've been against repealing it, but only because there has not been an adequate replacement as part of the repeal, only "trust us, we'll do something great".
