kind of weird to see the “ACA is useless” bs pop up again in 2024. it’s not great but like. y’all remember how much birth control pills cost pre-ACA???????????

Pre-ACA birth control costs were insane! 🤯

i honestly got a lot of my asthma care while i was uninsured via clinical trials. and an np friend giving me samples because my advair was 170$

begging my fellow americans to recall things that happened more than a month ago challenge

Old enough to remember being turned down for "pre-existing conditions."

25-year-olds still on their parents’ insurance are very upset about the ACA.

I’ve been running a business for 10 years, employing 2-8 other people over that time. We started it February of the year the ACA went into effect. Couldn’t have gotten affordable private insurance otherwise, and wasn’t willing to go without.

Gender discrimination was legal. I don't just mean they could charge you twice as much if you needed maternity coverage. I mean they could straight-up charge you twice as much for the exact same coverage purely because you were a woman.

Oh my goodness, yes! I teach Medical Ethics, and one of the things I point out with the ACA is there are a few big things that get attention, but 80% of it was simply plugging TONS of painful holes scattered all over the system. It's far from perfect, but it's a massive improvement over what we had.

Anyone who says the ACA is bad/useless is someone who never had to experience being denied medical care because of a pre existing condition, like they were a used car.

I was uninsured for 9 years before ACA became a thing. I thank my lucky stars for it. Now that I'm older and still poor af (not for lack of trying to make more money), i have many health issues that would go untreated otherwise and my quality of life would be awful and I'd be unable to work.
