ACA enshrined the worst parts of the American healthcare system for years to come. It is a politicized victory that is the best solution for no American citizens. Places I’ve been with fully privatized healthcare or single payer are both significantly better for consumers.

Insurance companies have raised prices to restore profit, were briefly a mandatory expense, and will exist for years to come.
