(32,324 posts)I am firmly convinced that many of those exonerating or even praising the ACA are younger and healthy and are probably not going to have to actually use the system for quite a while. Or else they re people who are on a premium plan, through an employer or through being able to afford such.
But for people who have to use an insurer that is offering them less than a premium plan, there is a lot of bitter to have to suck on.
Considering the fact that the guy occupying the Oval Office and the Dem majority that had both houses from Jan 2007 to Jan 2011 had continually put out there the possibility of a public option, only to retract such once pressured by industry, it is natural that people are disappointed and if denied coverage like essential meds, even damn angry. There should have been a lot more reform and a lot less in terms of loopholes and give aways to the Big Insurers.
But the Beltway whores are what they are.
