I have researched the exchange here for myself and my son. The bronze plan is really awful and still far more expensive than the plans we have now which are being discontinued because of UN-ACA regulations.

As I understand: for the first year it's 95 bucks or 1% of your income.
At least for now: is that a better option than the exchanges?

For 2014, the fine is 1% of your gross income. It appears that I will have no other choice at this time. I'm still hoping to finagle something, but currently being self-employed, there are no affordable alternatives.
