This is the internal genius of Obamacare.

It moved the goalposts completely on healthcare in this country forever.

By eliminating pre-existing denials, eliminating lifetime caps, and allowing children to stay on their parent’s policies deep into adulthood, it eliminated the three fears that voters had regarding health insurance:

1. What if I can’t get covered?
2. What if I exceed my coverage?
3. What if my child gets sick before he has coverage?

Those are the new expectations of any healthcare law going forward. And President Trump has embraced them.

Now, tell me how to pay for those three things?

Not quite eliminated them because while it mandates we (not on medicaid or subsidies) pay for stuff we cant use or don't want it results in high deductibles, which is like having no coverage in many cases.

But it it did set expectations and Trump promised to come up with something better, which Americans take as cheaper with better benefits.
