Demand is high in Central Texas to sign up for affordable health care, after new exchanges went live this month.
“Man, this Affordable Health Care Act is bad-ass,” said one man shopping for health insurance. “It’s a damn sight better than that horrible Obamacare I keep hearing about!”
One woman explained that she has previously been unable to get health insurance at any cost, due to a pre-existing condition. “Now that the health care law is in effect, I can stay healthy without going broke, which is important because if I’m not healthy, I can’t continue to actively support Ted Cruz’ efforts to defund Obamacare,” she explained.
Recent polling indicates that Republicans in particular support the Affordable Health Care Act in much higher percentages than they do Obamacare.
