A more accurate statement would be forcing health "insurance" companies to accept sick people and therefore pay for their care, and limiting the ration of highest premium to lowest premium so that sick people don't have to pay for their own healthcare caused premiums for the healthy middle class to rise.
More people are getting healthcare, hence more money is needed, and instead of raising taxes to pay for taxpayer funded healthcare, the US government decided to force health insurances to cover people who had to raise health "insurance" premiums.
More people were never going to get healthcare without an increase in either taxes or insurance premiums. Complaining about higher premiums is therefore complaining about more people getting healthcare, unless you would have rather higher taxes on the wealthy to pay for taxpayer funded healthcare for everyone.
