We’d still rather have the guaranteed coverage of the ACA over the old “system”.
That’s another benefit. My wife had considerable pre-existing conditions, which meant that changing insurers wasn’t feasible. To change insurance companies, she would be basically uninsured for a couple of years while still paying premiums based on those conditions. We were stuck with that insurance company and had to accept whatever premium increases they threw at us.
Obamacare let us have more options (although in a perverse twist, we actually stayed with the same insurance co at first - getting slightly improved coverage in the package).
