Whenever I hear a puke bash Obamacare I always remind them

that employer plans never covered pre-existing conditions and had a lifetime cap until Obamacare came along. Not to mention coverage for their children up to age 26.

Obamacare helps everyone whether your on it or not.

1. Ask them: Where is your better coverage, cheaper plan that Trump promised many times?

Often in 'two weeks'.

4. Yup. It was always "in two weeks"...

In four years Trump had 102 "two weeks". Missed all of them.

Nobody's fault but his own. Can't blame Democrats and Congress, because they can't vote on something he never gave them.

7. I'm still waiting for the catch-up tax cut Trump promised

the middle class to be passed and delivered, just ahead of the 2018 mid-term vote -- while Congress was not in session.

2. My employer plan covered preexisting conditions

although it had a lifetime cap.

3. I think it is safe to say

That insurance companies would treat having COVID as a preexisting condition until they get a handle on the questions regarding long COVID.

Imagine what that would have done to our market in the absence of the ACA.

5. Agree with basic points, but employer plans did cover preexisting

conditions — without waiting periods — if you switched employer and maintained coverage. That was part of HIPPA and it saved most people who continued working.

ACA made a lot of great changes for everyone, as you said.

6. If and if. There are all sorts of scenarios without that result.
