Your $80 insurance was trash. You think you had coverage but the moment anything serious happened to you, you'd get thrown off.

Cancer? Bye.

Heart problems? See you later.

They were a fraud and you were getting ripped off.

ADA put an end to that fraud. Insurance companies could no longer arbitrarily throw you off. That's why premiums went up from $80. They had to actually provide coverage.

Now you know two things.

I liked it just fine, I'm aware of the change the ACA brought into effect with regard to the preexisting conditions. I'd rather have affordable options than a single un-affordable choice. Whether the insurance company doesn't cover a pre-existing condition or you can't afford the premiums the out come is the same. I'd argue that no insurance at all is worse but reasonable people could differ on that.
