I have employer-based insurance, so nothing changed, but it has helped multiple people in my family.

Hurt.

My parents now have more taken out of their check to pay for the same insurance they had before Obamacare. 

How have you determined that it was directly attributable to Obamacare, rather than your standard yearly rate increase?

Even if you can tie directly to Obamacare, you should look at the entire total costs (premium + out-of-pocket costs throughout the year + potential rebate in the spring of 2015), along with the level of service you get out of it, rather than just singling it down to the premium.

Generally speaking, increasing the quantity of services that must be supplied while increasing demand by threatening fines for those that do not purchase said services will increase the cost of said services.

He never said his benefits changed at all. Assuming he's on his parents' group plan, it's likely that it renewed in late 2013 to avoid Obamacare for one more year (and thanks to a recent decision, this will be allowed through 2016).  If this is the case, then the rate increase or decrease would have nothing to do with Obamacare.
