You're not allowed to "other than that" preexisting conditions. I'm one and the ACA means I got to quit my shitty telesales job and take a no-insurance-provided-at-a-small-company first software development job.

There are millions like me who can take risks for the first time, whether that's working for a small company or starting one. And I don't have to worry about the next 40K hospital bill burying me.

I understand (in fact I have a daughter with preexisting conditions). But I'm referring more to the web site. There is not magic about the website. The law itself brought in some changes that will help some. You don't even have to use the website to take advantage of new law.
