Yup. There's a very real issue of people conflating health insurance "coverage" and health care coverage. The ACA doesn't ensure care, it ensures insurance coverage. Many people may now be able "afford" insurance coverage but just as many or more still can't "afford" care. |

The Essential Benefits defined in the ACA guarantee that, within certain bounds, that isn't an inaccurate equivalency. It's true that every version of then Republican modifications characterized as “repeal and replace” has not only attacked insurance coverage but also made insurance coverage less likely to be care coverage, so it's certainly important to recognize the difference.
