Chances are that you or someone in your family has experienced something in their medical history that an insurance company would consider a pre-existing condition. Until the passage of the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies were free deny individual coverage to anyone with such pre-existing conditions at any price.

The only way for people with pre-existing conditions to get insurance was through group coverage through an employer. Unfortunately the rising cost of insurance over the past several decades resulted in many companies, especially smaller companies cutting back and in many cases not offering insurance. 

That is the system that Republicans desperately want to retain. They want huge for-profit insurers to be able to charge more and more for less and less only to people that aren't likely to cost them anything. They don't care about ordinary lower and middle income families. Think about that when you go to the polls.
