Whats different now is that super healthy people pay more than they would have to help cover people with pre-existing conditions. I and lots of people are OK with that because it protects us if we get sick. But, coverage does cause some folks premiums to go up. And some folks cant fathom they might get sick.
White wingers are too stupid to get it, or just dont care about others.
