There were amble horror stories before ACA as well as after. About a year ago, I was lying in a hospital totally out of it while my wife argued against an insurance company denial of a drug that would likely save my life. The appeals process was longer (3-4 day minimum) than my anticipated life without the drug (hours). I am sure there is a way to blame that process on ACA - I am sure I could figure out two or three ways to spin it -- but, guess what, to the extent ACA had anything to do with it increased the chance of me getting the drug (because it eliminated lifetime caps).
But let's not make system-wide health care decisions based on convenience or inconvenience. Let's make it based on life and death needs.

people who had insurance have worse now, as I predicted.
my daughter just turned 26. she is very broke. the health care she got, as a broke person, comes with a $3000 deductible. How is that possible? That is (other than my checkbook) practically the same as having no insurance. I hope really poor people are covered w/o deductible, because if you wrecked the system for most and didn't even really help the truly poor that is fucked up.
