I'm glad your premiums haven't increased, you're truly a 1%'r now.

So theres nothing of any good with it eh?
- Patients Bill of Rights (protecting people from being dropped due to pre existing condition)
- Cost Free Preventative services
- No Lifetime dollar limits
- allowing kids to stay on their parents plans till 26
- the 85% rule of making insurance companies use at least 85% of premiums be spent on improving health care services and quality.
- Eliminating annual limits on coverage
and there is so much more that everyone agrees are good things. The problems are more in the process than the benefits. But this could be improved over time.
It was not a complete dismantle of the system. The old players are still there and got taken care of real good. A better system would have been going to single payer, which a lot of us wanted. Take the rate hike on taxes (you probably would have saved money anyways) and give everyone the same insurance.
