Are there people who still don't understand what "Obamacare" is?

Someone just lumped “Obamacare” in with food stamps and section 8 housing, as though it is some sort of government funded “free” insurance for lower income people. That couldn’t be further from the truth.
The Affordable Care Act (the ACA,) also known as “Obamacare” is a set of LAWS that congress passed in 2010. These laws govern ALL health insurance providers.
Among many other things, the law makes it illegal for an insurance provider to deny a person because of preexisting conditions.
The law also allows people to keep their children on their health insurance until the kids are 26.
If you have health insurance you have “Obamacare.” End of story.
It has been of great benefit to millions of people. However, most republican states refused to expand their medicaid budget. This has left millions of impoverished people without health insurance still.
