In the end, it’s about the tradeoffs. Is it worth it? Absolutely! My understanding is profits of health-insurance companies will now be limited, and for me, the peace of mind is worth at least something to know that if I get sick, I will not have to declare bankruptcy or lose my house. It’s important to look at the bigger picture rather than just what premiums cost. Personally, I would have preferred a “public option,” but with no cooperation whatsoever from the Republicans, this is what we got.

Hopefully, we can make it better.
