It's not the health insurance I would have created, but it's the first health insurance I've been able to afford for a decade, with a pre-existing condition. It saves me over $500 a month, net, on prescriptions alone, prescriptions I can't live without. Prescriptions I've paid $96,000 for retail, out of pocket, over the last decade.

You'll have to run it down to someone else. I'm not going to give it up because it isn't perfect.

Most Americans (including progressive liberals) don't like Obamacare. The premiums are very high, and out of pocket expenses (deductibles) are outrageous. That plan was a complete sell out to the health insurance industry.
It's a function (the premium) of age and income. If one qualifies for a subsidy premiums can be reasonable. Older people get a break on price too compared to what the market was before the AFCA.
