It was true then, It is true today.

48. I feel for you. I have coverage now thru employer, but I was unemployed a short time

last year. I paid for the COBRA, but it was hard...it was VERY expensive.

What was helpful was accessing www.healthcare.gov, and using that service to identify policies in my state that I could more easily afford. I could sort them by deductible amount or premium or whatever. There were policies at various premium levels. So I would've gotten a policy that way...a much cheaper policy, just protecting me from a catastrophic illness, probably.

I work mainly for insurance. I work for $, too, don't get me wrong.

The ACA isn't perfect, and passing a national health care system, jumping directly from an insurance provider system, wasn't going to happen. But it has provided access to health care for millions, who didn't have access before, so I acknowledge that. My mother (now deceased) was one of those once denied ins. coverage because of a pre-existing condition. That would no longer be the case.
