Bunch of anecdotal BS, the death party, people will die, blah blah.
My point is that if you were sick you got treated before ACA. You get treated after ACA.
If somebody that doesn't stand to gain one way or the other produces a study that shows a change in mortality rates, life expectancy, etc. I will continue to be skeptical that it accomplished much.
Or, if I see somebody having to fix their own broke leg or something because they don't have insurance I will change my opinion as well.

ironic you should mention the broken leg. today at the free clinic I volunteer at a man came in straight from the hospital. he broke his arm badly and the ER said it would require surgery. then they put him in a sling gave some pain meds and wished him good luck. you do realize that his break could become infected and he could die? the worst part of it is we have neither the money or an ortho DR to help the poor guy out. I suppose this is what you mean by treatment? time to change your opinion!
