The ACA is not the answer and it never was. It's Romneycare, designed to help insurance companies stay relevant and to protect for-profit health care from the socialist boogieman.

The ACA was not a great achievement of the Obama admin. It was one of its most disappointing failures, IMO. It simply entrenched for-profit health systems and the parasites who drain them even further. We need public, non-profit Medicare for all Americans!
