Let's be clear: you made a bold claim without evidence. I responded with an explanation of why your claim is incorrect, based on the actual text of the law which defines the terms. I also provided specific examples of the differences, which are in the post you just responded to.

At no point have you provided any actual evidence, other than an unsourced offhand anecdote (which I addressed), to support your bold initial claim.

I've taken the time to provide much more in the way of both evidence and explication than you have presented. If you'd like more, then perhaps first you can provide some concrete evidence to support the scope of your original, claim, and also address the specific examples that I revealed which refute the premise of your claim.

The only who has made a claim here is you: your claim is that the ACA's guarantee of pre-existing condition coverage doesn't matter because there exists places that only have inadequate healthcare options available for purchase. You have provided no evidence for this claim.

Others here have provided first-hand accounts of acquiring adequate coverage on exchanges.
