Yes you're right, according to census data that definitely doesn't make you a Republican.

And, yes that is the goal. That is why, with the ACA, insurance companies cannot deny an applicant based on a pre-existing condition. Due to your special circumstances, and previous problems, contact an agent and they can help get you set up.

Again, not saying the law is perfect, but it's a start and better then the system we did have in place. Personally I think everyone should receive very basic healthcare from the government. Even if its high co-pays, high deductibles. Something to cover catastrophic illness. Then individuals can buy supplemental insurance or employers can provide it as a benefit. Basically if you have the means, and choose to, you can buy better insurance (lower co-pays, low deductibles, lower max out of pocket etc).
