ACA is just a baby step in the right direction - and I guess the President do know that - it is just a small step on a long road to something better - but it ended a policy of making it impossible for people getting a sensible insurance at least - because of "pre-existing conditions" or that you had to pay more because of the fact you was a woman....

The ACA as you point out - have its setbacks - that for sure - but I guess it was the best you could get back then - it is amazing ACA was able to get a foothold in the door at all - with the Congress you had then - and I suspect any progress to ACA - would be more difficult the next 2 years - as the republicans will do their best to ruin what progress was made by ACA at all...

I guess it is more expensive in Switzerland - and that your premiums is more expensive than it was in the US - but at least you can get a fair medical attention in Switzerland too.. And that is rather important I would say...

I will do my best to take care of that ticker of me - I would not have a re-run of that anytime soon - even if it was a small attack compared to others - it was rather painfully and stressfully - I was not in any fear really - i suspect it was to painfully to make me afraid - and It could also because I had read about it before - I'm a rather curious fellow who read a lot - of everything - and I suspect it might as well have helped me when it started in honest last Wednesday - the fact I had some insight into it.. And it might as well be because I understood it - i had at least a grandfather - a uncle and a father who had problems with the old ticker - So I might have been learning something there too...

Maybe - it is not that long way from Norway to Switzerland really - somewhat over a hour flight - even if it is rather expensive in Switzerland It is at least as expensive as in Norway...
