Do you believe ACA helps you?

Did you previously qualify for Medi-Cal or have a pre-existing condition?

Were you insured before ACA?

What do you do when you need healthcare? Not an emergency like a heart attack, but something which requires medical expertise. What is your process? Do you seriously just go to the closest hospital or google +doctor +"my city"?

Do you know why I have not revealed my specific health care situation to you in detail? It is because I have never asked for health care help here. I have never said Obamacare is better for everyone here.

Do you know why I am focusing on your specific health care access issues? It is because you specifically asked me how it is possible for you to access health care.

And yes, when I was looking for a doctor, I went to my local hospital. They had a list of general practioner doctors as well as different specialists. It included their bio and education history. I picked from the list. I then also searched the California medical board website to see if the doctor I had chosen had any malpractice problems. It is very easy for anyone to do this either in person at the hospital, or doing a Google search. Doing a Google search is even better because it includes personal reviews from other patients. Is this concept foreign to you?
