Absolutely not. Pre-ACA options were heavily biased to healthy, young individuals. This is not the profile of freelancers and entrepreneurs, and especially not the profile of the most qualified contributors to an entrepreneurial market. As you get older, you get more experienced and better networked, which can yield the best opportunities for freelancing and entrepreneurialism. But you also accumulate dependents, medical conditions, and risks of the sams. All of thess were grossly penalized pre-ACA, to the point that many would-be entrepreneurs and freelancers wouldn’t be eligible for coverage at all.
