This is a link to a letter written a couple of days before the government shut. It is from a 26 year old woman with a life threatening condition called Crohn's disease.

I wish this lady well but will not buy into her belief that Obamacare did or in the future will save her life concerning Crohn Disease.
Good eve UWS

Without obamacare's provision allowing people to on their mothers coverage until they are 26, the woman who wrote this letter would have unable to obtain the surgery needed to extend her life. She has been previously denied coverage because she had a prexisting condition. I think obamacare has helped her obtain the care needed to help cope with her condition.

First, she has a job that provides insurance, or did before Obamacare came along.
Second, at least in this state and CA, if the company has a group policy she cannot be denied coverage.
Third, are her treatments going to be covered under the Obamacare exchange policies?
And finally, if she thinks the clinic that is too busy to handle her now is going to be less busy under Obamacare she's nuts.
"Life threatening" is somewhat overstated. Having Crohn's means having certain lifestyle changes but it's generally manageable and doesn't seem to increase mortality.
