I have been denied insurance for over 12 years. Scratch that...I was offered a 'plan' for $1200/mo that included a rider that excluded coverage for pretty much everything except falling out of my car. I now have a plan for $75/mo that doesn't exclude a damned thing and also covers meds for 50% of cost. Granted, it's been so long since I've been able to see a doctor that I'm absolutely terrified to go, now. But, I will...eventually. And, I will be grateful that I have insurance that will cover any catastrophic issues that may come up.
What Will is going through is tough, but he's received some helpful advice that he doesn't seem to want. I guess it's easier to be angry than actually fight. A lot of people are seeing real benefits from the ACA. Like everything else, this will be improved over time."
