There are a whole bunch of people with insurance, who did not have it before.

If you think of Medicaid as "insurance", then you might be right. However, Medicaid is not insurance.

And then there are all those young people who did not want insurance because they didn't need it, yet now are being forced to purchase it under threat of tax penalty. Sure, they have it now after not having it before. Yet they are now being forced (at the point of a gun) to buy something they do not want.

Sorry I changed my mind on this post.

I asked the mods to delete it. Thanks anyway for your reply.

It could have fooled me. I really can't tell the difference. Same clinics, physicians, hospitals, prescription formulary, health management company "i.e. insurance company". We are fortunate in this area to not have any problem finding providers or open appointments.
