Quote from: HurtfulTurkey on March 05, 2016, 09:39:02 AMOne of several good aspects of the act,, but both parties had been in support of eliminating discrimination based on pre-existing conditions by that time so it's hard to justify Obamacare based on a single policy which would have been adopted by anyone.LOL No they didn't. Only recently have they been against pre existing condition discrimination.

Yeah I guess that's why they fought tooth and nail against Obamacare. This was one of the biggest parts of the ACA they were fighting, apart from mandatory health care (which you could argue is the same issue) businesses having to provide for employees if they have more than 50.
wait so before companies can reject you if you had something early on in life? what the fuck

Getting insurance after already becoming ill is, as Das said, like wrecking your car and then buying car insurance. The real issue, which the ACA doesn't address, is the exorbitant cost of healthcare in the US which makes it effectively impossible to afford treatment outside of owning insurance.

If you walk into a hospital with a gunshot wound, they will treat you whether or not your insurance covers it, or if you have insurance at all.
