@chaosgirl13 A lot of us who work in health care believe differently. It's cheaper for people to get insured through the ACA and see their own primary care doctors or go to a clinic than be uninsured and use the emergency room as their primary contact with health care. The poorest and uninsured get treated in the ER anyway without paying courtesy of the Hill-Burton Act. The poor with a bit of money, well, ER bills are expensive.

My husband got laid off a while back, and COBRA is expensive, so we're grateful for the ACA. We have comprehensive, affordable insurance. Utterly necessary since I'm disabled.
