I have a disability myself, and I'm very grateful to President Obama for the ACA, because before the ACA I would have to pay a lot more for insurance bc of my preexisting condition. Now, such practices are illegal. I think "poor" means not or barely making enough money to support yourself. My income is exactly at the official poverty level (I'm an Americorps volunteer at a homeless organization). Without Medicaid and the protections afforded those with pre-existing conditions I don't know what I would do. There are definitely problems with the ACA and not everyone has benefited from it, but millions have and we need to work together to modify and fix it
