Would you rather be forced to pay 130 bucks a month and still have to pay up to 800 bucks a year for initial costs of health care? Because that’s what it means.

  You're talking to someone who buys health insurance on the individual market. $130/mo premiums and a $800 deductible sounds amazing, considering that I pay many multiples of those rates. I'd gladly pay more than triple or quadruple that, as I'd still be saving money and would wind up with better benefits. If I bought a family health plan, I'd be paying at least 15 times those rates on the individual market. Meanwhile, other first world nations are able to insure all of their citizens with better health outcomes than outcomes in the US, and at half of the cost the US pays for its inferior levels of care[1].
