>Couldn't even get a proper health care bill passed.

Perfect? No. Hell of a good start? Yes.

Ever heard of pre-existing conditions? Well not anymore. That fucking ALONE is worth all the mess that everything took.

You realize that before obamacare.. let's say you lived abroad for 1 year, developed some type of health condition, then moved back to the US.. you would be denied coverage or have health coverage but everything related to your pre-existing condition not be covered.

That basically means that you were fucked. I mean literally, if you developed cancer living abroad.. and tried to move back to the US- you basically could not without a financial death sentence.

Also every health plan has to provide maturity coverage, large companies are required to provide coverage.. etc the list goes on and on with regards to healthcare.

So please, don't parrot this garbage that obamacare basically did nothing.
