From what I understand (admittedly, it's not something I've followed very closely), not a whole lot changes except that Medicaid is expanded and subsidies are increased for low income people in need of insurance. And of course that people are obligated to be insured (otherwise forcing insurance companies to accept everyone wouldn't be a great idea).
Regarding the "insurance plans", that's just the worthless American health insurance for you. That's not only in ObamaCare, I know several Americans that are provided "health insurance" that includes co-payments of hundreds of dollars for relatively routine procedures.
Of course it's terrible, but it's not as terrible as if you have 20% of the population completely uninsured.
The truth is that the American healthcare system is a catastrophe for most people that aren't quite wealthy.
