The ACA certainly can't compare with the Trump/republican repeal and replace plan, that covers everyone, is cheaper, and provides better care.
Hey, I broke the system. So you fix it!
pArtY oF PERSONaL responsiBiLiTY!
Right, the system was great before.
I paid $800/month for two separate policies. $400 for one for the rest of the family; and $400 for me -- the high-risk policy, given my pre-existing condition (coverage for which was, in fact, guaranteed in 36 states). $1000 deductible per person or $3000 for the family.
Today, a single ACA policy for all of us would cost in the neighborhood of $2500/month, with a minimum $5000 family deductible.
To avoid that, my wife went back to work, where she could get health coverage. Her share (after the employer pays most of it, natch) is $735/month -- so only $65/month less than it cost us to have TWO plans in 2012.
The first "A" in the "ACA" was...ummm...a lie.
