We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Yes everybody is created equal and I'm just as capable of getting my own insurance getting off my butt getting a job and going to work every day even though I do so with a neurological disorder As You Are so anybody that doesn't want to get up and do that that's not my problem sounds to me like they need to grow up and get out of the mothers basements

Maybe he doesn't realize that the ACA prevents his (gotten on his own) insurance from dropping his coverage should they decide it might get too expensive, and prohibits his insurance company from denying coverage for his condition.

ACA (aka OBAMACARE) Insurance regulations: individual policies include:

• Guaranteed issue prohibits insurers from denying coverage to individuals due to pre-existing conditions.
• States were required to ensure the availability of insurance for individual children who did not have coverage via their families.
• A partial community rating allows premiums to vary only by age and location, regardless of preexisting conditions. Premiums for older applicants can be no more than three times those for the youngest.
• Essential health benefits must be provided. The National Academy of Medicine defines the law's "essential health benefits" as "ambulatory patient services; emergency services; hospitalization; maternity and newborn care; mental health and substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment; prescription drugs; rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices; laboratory services; preventive and wellness services and chronic disease management; and pediatric services, including oral and vision care" In determining essential benefits, the law required that standard benefits should offer at least that of a "typical employer plan". States may require additional services.
• Preventive care and screenings for women. All Food and Drug Administration approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counseling for all women with reproductive capacity". This mandate applies to all employers and educational institutions except for religious organizations. These regulations were included on the recommendations of the Institute of Medicine.
• Annual and lifetime coverage caps on essential benefits were banned.
• Insurers are forbidden from dropping policyholders when they become ill.
• All policies must provide an annual maximum out of pocket (MOOP) payment cap for an individual's or family's medical expenses (excluding premiums). After the MOOP payment is reached, all remaining costs must be paid by the insurer.
• Preventive care, vaccinations and medical screenings cannot be subject to co-payments, co-insurance or deductibles.Specific examples of covered services include: mammograms and colonoscopies, wellness visits, gestational diabetes screening, HPV testing, STI counseling, HIV screening and counseling, contraceptive methods, breastfeeding support/supplies and domestic violence screening and counseling.
• The law established four tiers of coverage: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. All categories offer the essential health benefits. The categories vary in their division of premiums and out-of-pocket costs: bronze plans have the lowest monthly premiums and highest out-of-pocket costs, while platinum plans are the reverse. The percentages of health care costs that plans are expected to cover through premiums (as opposed to out-of-pocket costs) are, on average: 60% (bronze), 70% (silver), 80% (gold), and 90% (platinum).
• Insurers are required to implement an appeals process for coverage determination and claims on all new plans.
• Insurers must spend at least 80–85% of premium dollars on health costs; rebates must be issued if this is violated.
