8. The old system

The old employer based health insurance system was a form of economic servitude.

Face it, how many of us hung on to humiliating and infuriating jobs because to quit would be to risk medical bankruptcy?

The ACA will go a long way for me to feel more secure as I reach retirement age and also enjoy a lot more happiness in my older years.

I am so happy this has come for everybody in America!

I also think most employers aren't really happy about the health insurance system before the ACA?
