The opposition from Republicans seem to be mainly a matter of politics. Granted, there are some opponents of the Affordable Care Act who genuinely believe it will be too expensive and not effective. But most of the opposition from Republicans does not seem to be about saving money: it seems to be about obstructing anything President Obama wants to do. The Republican plan, unfortunately, seeks to revert things to how they were before, which will leave millions of Americans without access to affordable health care.

The hope that many Democrats have (and Democratic politicians understand the Affordable Care Act is not perfect, but they believe it is a start, and that once it is fully implemented, it will help many people) is that moderate Republicans will work with them to improve the law and fix the parts of it that need improvement. But at this point, Republican politicians seem determined to stop or repeal the law, rather than trying to work with Democrats to provide more Americans with access to affordable health insurance.

Will ObamaCare protect your predisposed condition?

I think you mean a "pre-existing" condition. That refers to a condition you already have, and some health insurance companies used to refuse to cover you if you had an illness already (like cancer, or heart disease or diabetes). But under the president's health plan, companies will no longer be able to deny you coverage just because you have a pre-existing condition.

How long do you need to wait to be treated after your health insurance is in force so it will not be considered a pre-existing condition?

A pre-existing condition is any illness that you had treatment for in the 6 months before you joined the plan. So, while you definitely have a pre-existing condition, you do not necessarily have to wait to get care. True, your plan can refuse to cover treatment for the illness for up to 12 months. But they have to subtract one month for every month that you had uninterrupted health insurance coverage. So, if you were on your previous group plan for at least months, the new group plan covers everything - including your pre-existing condition. If you had a 63-day gap in your health insurance in the 12 months before you join a group health insurance plan, then the plan starts counting from the end of your gap to your enrollment date. (Note: rules are different for individual health plans.) Under health reform ("Obamacare"), insurers have to cover pre-existing conditions and cannot refuse to sell you a plan based upon your having a pre-existing condition. This begins on January 1, 2014.
