Editor’s note: Though the Affordable Care Act —aka Obamacare— continues to be in effect, health care advocates are warning of serious potential consequences after a federal appeals court on Wednesday struck down part of the bill, leaving open the possibility of the entire law being declared unconstitutional. Health advocates warn that losing the law would end insurance coverage entirely for many, and also could affect its most popular provisions for insured Americans, such as coverage for preexisting conditions. Peter LaFrance, a plumber who lives in Chester County, recently spoke with the Inquirer for this November 2019 story about his experience with an insurance policy that restricts such coverage.
