Agreed- here on both counts- the ACA wasn't even the "best we could do" it was the "best we could do for the insurance industry." The Government delivered them 30 million new patients, based upon the tacit agreement that Insurance companies would do something about bending the curve on premium increases to a negative slope. And what did Insurance companies do? Once we got invested in the law, they fucking jacked up premiums, claiming that participation in the "markets" was no longer cost effective. And then they allowed the politicians to basically destabilize the government over it.
So to hell with the ACA. It was corporate welfare for the insurance industry, and nothing more.
