For those with previously undiagnosed diabetes, the ACA is working out very well:

The TL: DR summary is that for states that expanded Medicaid via the ACA, there has been a big increase in diagnosis of early stage diabetes, and in those states that have not, there has not. To quote our VP, that's a big f*cking deal, because the earlier diabetes can be identified and addressed, the cheaper the care is. Amputation, kidney dialysis and seeing-eye dogs are hella expensive.

I look forward to Ted Cruz running on "Obamacare gives people diabetes!"
