8. Not ignored by me!

Nothing so dramatic, but Obamacare had been great for me. I got a much better policy and pay for it consistent with my income.

Being self employed, and not making tons of money, it has been a real boon.

It is great for people not so poor as to qualify for medicaid, but not rich enough to buy a good policy.

A lot of people who think they are doing so much better with what they had with their employer should look on the exchange instead. De-coupling health insurance from employment will be great. There's no reason for it to be tied to that. Without that tie, we can change jobs more easily, or have one less worry if laid off.
