Personally, as an independent business owner, the ACA helped me and my family. I’m from Massachusetts and a few years ago I shopped for health insurance and heard that in S Carolina it cost 1/3 as much. I wondered how that could be. Found out it was because their policies didn’t cover much – if you got sick, they dropped you and they had low maximum payouts. Massachusetts had regulations that were practical and protected buyers.
The major benefit with ACA is that it sets minimum requirements so people buying it benefit and not just the insurance companie$.
I don’t understand why Republicans don’t understand this. I think the only people that don’t like the ACA are:
The health insurance industry and their management and stock holders
People who are wealthy and can afford whatever
People who are wealthy and want more tax breaks
People who don’t have to pay for their health insurance
Paid by company they work for
Congress because US taxpayers pay for their insurance
Congressmen who get lots of donations from the health care industry
People who have never gotten sick or don’t have close friends or relatives that have gotten sick
But I thought congressmen were supposed to be working for US.
