Your plan HAS nothing to do with healthcare reform or its policies. Its like saying . . look, global warming is hoax, my cube temperature at work is 68 degrees.
Really? Prove it....and also tell me what in my plan has changed since the ACA has been implemented?
What you are saying is like, you can keep your Dr., you can keep your insurance, your plans were just junk anyway....

Um, Obama said it would cut premiums $2500 per family on average.
Pre-existing conditions are normally considerations for individual plans. Group plans ( via an employer) normally don't worry about pre-existing conditions. They just group 20-30 or 250, or 2,500, or 5,000 all together. I.e. the ability to not ask about pre-existing conditions didn't impact most health plans in the U S (either through employer or through feds such as medicare)
Plans might have a 6 mo exclusion, if you were treated within the past 6 mo for a pre-existing condition.
Gosh darn it, it's too bad I risked my health by getting an unpreventable cancer at 23! I deserve to never be able to buy health insurance again for my poor choices and lack of regard for my health.

At this point, you'll have to console yourself with the fact that a whole bunch of lower income young voters are finally starting to feel the pain of penalties or mandatory purchase of a product a number of them don't value and whom pay much higher profit margins on in order to subsidize older insureds and those with pre-existing conditions etc.
There is a reason they waited past 2012 to implement.
