The ACA was the keystone to my ER. Without it, with a pre-existing condition and being in my early (now mid) 50s, I would have had real difficulty finding health insurance at all, let alone affordable health insurance.
Ahhhhh. (That's a sigh of relief, not a prelude to a cussword!)
Similar here. Without the ACA, I would have been faced with some lousy choices: Go without HI, buy a policy which would have left me vastly underinsured (which I was for 2 1/2 years prior to 1/1/2014), or remain with my skyrocketing individual HI policy whose premiums had grown by nearly 50% in 2 years, putting a small but growing strain on my budget.
