Interesting. I had just the opposite experience. For starters, the only reason I have decent health insurance is because of Obamacare. I have asthma and have had it since I was a little kid so it isn't going away. That preexisting condition made it so no insurance company would offer me anything more than a catastrophic policy so I had to pay cash for pretty much everything. Since they can't disqualify you for preexisting conditions now, I was able to buy regular, better insurance.
About a year ago I had some serious health issues that required me to see a couple of different specialists and get extended physical therapy. I had to wait about 3 weeks to get into one of the specialists and about 2 weeks for the other. After that, there were no issues. I had to get referrals from my doctor, but the insurance approved all the physical therapy and follow-ups with the specialists no problem.
My problem with Obamacare is that it is expensive and does nothing to actually lower the cost of the healthcare itself so the cost is just going to continue to go up.
