Yes and no. Eliminating the pre-existing conditions restrictions was life-changing for me and a lot of people I know; I'd had a surgery in 2005 that, up to whenever Obamacare was passed, excluded me from buying any health insurance from a private insurer. They all declined me as having had a pre-existing condition (having been operated on). Obamacare taking that away? A good thing. The medicaid expansion was significant for several of my friends, too. Suddenly, they qualified for medicaid! Again, big improvement in their quality of life. Lots wrong with the ACA, and for my part I wish we'd had the public option, but overall I don't think it made health care worse; just changed the good and bad to affect different people.
