    How quickly people forget the bad old days before 2010, but this is just what could happen (again) if SCOTUS overturns the #ACA.https://twitter.com/wendellpotter/status/1309132750767763458 …

    Over the last few days, I’ve been asked many times: If a new Supreme Court overturns Obamacare, what would that mean for most Americans? As a former health insurance executive, here’s the scary truth: (1/12)

        In law school I did some research on insurance companies denying coverage or jacking up premiums for domestic violence victims based on a "predisposition to risky behavior."

        Removing ACA during the pandemic??? Sounds like a failed state to me.

        Before the ACA, insurance policies also had annual caps and lifetime caps. If you went over your cap for the year (even in January), the ins co paid nothing afterwards. Same for lifetime caps. Car accident puts you in ICU? Expensive cancer treatments? Choose bankruptcy or death.

        Then we will just have to do better. As much as I dislike the idea of a government run healthcare. I dislike the Insurance companies denying payment or withholding authorization for care even more. Each year private insurance gets worse and worse.
