You also mentioned working for employers that provide healthcare.  Have
you never had a gap? Always worked for the same company?

 Six weeks in 1977. I received no unemployment or health benefits. I was
young, healthy, unworried and motivated at the time.
 

Some of us worked for companies that were sold and moved, owner dies,
taken over by another and had gaps in coverage.  ACA would take care of
that.

 COBRA does that or did. ACA was not needed for serious people.
 

You make is sound so easy; glad it was for you.  It isn't.  I can tell you stories about young, healthy, motivated people that did not fare as well.
