The fact that you had cancer scares is not the fault of the ACA or any insurance company.
The ACA means that they can't deny you coverage because of pre-existing conditions.
Let's all remember that before the ACA the insurance companies used to give out bonuses to employees found reasons to cancel the policies of people who got sick.

Try not to get too nostalgic for the way we were. It sucked balls.
Oh, and btw, two weeks ago I had to change doctors. The doctor I had for 9 years left the practice that was in my insurance plan. Big fucking deal. One Indian guy for another. In June when I went to see my cardiologist he informed me that he was retiring and they were assigning me to another doctor in the practice. Again, no big fucking deal. I keep wondering what this fucking longing is to keep one doctor for life. Things happen.
