Thats humorous the "REAL" facts come from the people implementing it right.

Charging men to cover child birth makes no sense. Men get charged to cover things that they couldnt even have.
Women dont pay more for a service, unless they required something extra. Men and women are biologically different fyi.

Insurance companies couldnt arbitrarily drop your coverage unless you werent paying your bills. Liketime limits were bogus too if you had a yearly plan they reset every year.
This absolutely screws people with serious issues as hospitals are cutting back on staff and research (the Cleveland Clinic is already preparing layoffs) and a lot of the better doctors are not going to out of pocket only service. Half of the better primary care doctors in the area arent accepting insurance anymore.
I hate to burst your bubble but insurance companies love Obamacare, the arent being harmed by it at all. They just got a few million new customers from it and its ALL coming out of tax dollars. Youre now paying for it even more.
