>>That might have happened, but I never saw it.
So I'll leave it to you to explain why 700,000 households kept their homes and assets in 2016 compared to pre-ACA years.
>>As I said in my other post, I had a serious siege of hospitalizations in 1998 and the insurer covered all but the $5K deductible.
>>I know people who have been under treatment for the same illness for years and I've never heard of a cancellation.
See above.
>>Pre-existing conditions are another matter.
>>I haven't decided whether thaat feature made any sense or not.
Consider whether exclusion of Medicare cover for pre-existing conditions makes sense when you hit 65, and the decision might be easier.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
