>>having "insurance" is not the same as having access

what exactly does that mean??

that seems to be a phrase repeated by all republicon talking heads now, the new "catchphrase"... they must have put out a memo... "here's our line, just repeat it"

if you have insurance through Obamacare you certainly have access to healthcare

>>I never knew a lot about this since I had no background in it and it didn't apply to me but there was a functioning individual health care market prior PPACA.

yes, but the policies were crap... sure you could get a catastrophic policy for $100 bucks per month... but it wasn't real healthcare

You obviously have no idea about healthcare plans under the ACA because you're on medicare, so what makes you an expert on claiming millions of people have not benefited... at the expense of taxing the wealthiest people who can afford it?

To tweak it I would give younger people more options of a cheaper plan. The mandate should offer some cheaper plans, which would mean less coverage, but younger healthier folks can have more options.
