If you are on Medicare, you should have seen savings in subscription drugs.

I'm not

If you have private insurance you are protected from pre-existing condition denials

Already was, there was no pre-existing on my group insurance through my employer.

and benefit caps.

It was pretty high, and waived the few times anyone approached it.


Perhaps you have Vet Care and use government provided healthcare?

Nope.

I'm not complaining, but ACA did virtually nothing for me and a large number of people. That was intentional. The ACA by design was meant to not impact people who already had "good" insurance as little as possible. (We could already keep kids on ours until 26). Truth is, the kinds of insurance many of us already had were the model for the various levels now mandated. The people with employer based group insurance that got affected the most were the ones with "cadillac" plans. Their benefits got reduced (or will once the labor unions get around to renegotiating the contracts).
