There is no "free" medical care. Any ER room visit is charged and collections will come for you...unless you are a minor or a senior...Get the facts about how the system actually works...I was 63 and could not buy a policy from Kaiser due to pre-exsisting condition...the hip they replaced 5 months earlier...Non-citzens escape paying for medical as you cant locate them through normal collection methods...credit bureau's etc...but citzens will be collected on forever... -

Why not amend the law? The single and most important aspect of the ACA is to guarantee every American has the right to purchase health insurance with no medical restrictions, and cannot be denied coverage. The second most important aspect of the ACA is the emphasis on prevention.

I am 63 and on a limited income and my affordable cost now are $300 a month, and the only thing it covers is if I am hit by a bus. I pay for everything out of pocket on top of the monthly cost. My rates still are going up not down. So I can only imagine how much a family of four is going to have to pay each month, from what I understand it certainly is not affordable.
