You remember the lifetime maximums on healthcare coverage Alan? When you reached the "Max" they were done with ya. Remember those? There gone also. If any insurance company wants to be allowed to sell insurance thru the ACA, they must not have a 'cancel when you get severely sick" policy. Even when they are selling non-ACA policies. (It's a huge moneymaker as millions are on ACA now,) so most abide. And of course, the law now mandates allowing folks to insure their kids till they are 26. So kids still going to school and such can still be insured under their parents plans. And when did I make any commit about admiring Canada. I stated all the Canadians I spoke took think theirs's not perfect but want no part of trading for ours. That tells me they want to keep it.
Most people are not keen on this stuff, as they take it for granted. Try taking it away from them and see how well it goes over. 1/3 of the United States has a preexisting condition.

Actually, no. My insurance would have remained in effect. My mother worked in insurance for decades, I'm pretty familiar with it.
