Once I read the part of the cover about potential risks, I became interested. Since I support the ACA, I need to learn about it. In addition, I've shown more interest in this than A Wizard named Nell and So This is How it Ends. I just wanted to see how abysmal they would be. That aside, this needs to be a must-read for everybody because, this book shows just how precious the ACA is. On top of that, we can't sure of our next President will keep it around.
Soon after this book begins, the author debunks several myths. They even reveal partial truths. What I liked about this section is they didn't treat the reader as though they're stupid. (However, that happens later on in chapter 5 so, this might as well not be something I liked.)
A lot of surprising statistics. Even though I found them startling, I'm aware that it's easy to manipulate them to show results you want.
What made me feel glad about that the ACA reforming health care is I learned that at age 26, I'd have to find a new insurance plan. Also, since I have hay fever, the ACA made it where I can't be denied coverage for that.
Even though I found the section on finding health insurance a little confusing, I'm glad that one was even included. That's one situation where you need to be informed and consider all of your options instead of just going with what your family's been using. Of course, this may be the best choice for you.
Despite all of the praise I've just showered on it, I can't bring myself to like this. I read this to learn about the ACA, not to read bashing on gun control. Even though I get off track as much as it, I don't want to read books where that happens. That said, even I must admit how ineffective it is. Even with it in place, there are still venues where people can buy guns without a background checks.
I did have one question while reading this. Since this was written last year, shouldn't the author know that the BMI is hogwash? You can be healthy and fit yet still be considered overweight. If the BMI was accurate, how could this be the case? For the record, it was inaccurate when it was invented in the 1800s. (Maybe you don't know this is you never question doctors.)
Even though I liked the glossary, there is one thing I found sad. It was how people overreacted when they heard about death panels instead of finding out what they meant. I find it even sadder because, those could've been an important addition to the ACA. Also, I feel we need to talk about the situations where the patient can't be saved before they happen.
On a final note, there is one minor concern. If you want to read this in increments, just keep in mind that this doesn't hold bookmarks that well. I think I might've lost one due to this book.
