It was true then, It is true today.

13. No, ins. coverage hasn't always been universally available to most of the people.

If I had been fired at one time, I would not have had a way to get ins. coverage....not poor enough for Medicaid, old enough for Medicare, rich enough to buy it.

He's talking about the subsidies for the working poor and lower middle class, Medicaid for the poor (which has been expanded to include the working poor), Medicare for the seniors, health care for children. The wealthy and most middle class working people get ins. through their employers. Plus the laws that prohibit ins. cos. dropping those who file claims, and prohibit ins. cos. from excluding pre-existing conditions, and prohibit the charging of rates so high that it is equal to not providing coverage at all.

Some still fall through the cracks, which Obama acknowledged on the passing of the ACA. But it's close.
