A great day for the ACA as scam insurance policies come to an end!

The insurance policies that people love until they have to use them are coming to an end as the ACA sets much higher standards for the insurance industry.

It's a story almost out of Hollywood: The Rainmaker starring Matt Damon. In this movie, Damon defends someone who bought a scam "ghetto" insurance policy that never pays off. Unfortunately the patient dies before he can receive treatment and the scam insurance company goes bankrupt and once again doesn't pay off.

This movie came out in 1997, so the question is, why didn't the GOP try to do something about this 14 years ago? Oh yeah, they were too busy playing political power games, impeaching presidents, and lying us into wars before their 2008 flash depression.

Where are those GOP apologies? People should be furious. It's almost as if Obama killed Osama bin Laden again! What a great day for the ACA!
