How could you possibly just assert there are far more people in your position? There are tens of millions of people who had no access to health care that now have it. And can you explain exactly how the ACA has made healthcare unaffordable for tens of millions, since you assert more are disaffected by it than helped?
> A new analysis from the Urban Institute found that the average unsubsidized premiums in the Affordable Care Act exchanges, commonly known as Obamacare, are actually 10 percent lower than the full premiums in the average employer plan nationally in 2016.
"How could you possibly just assert there are far more people in your position?"
Because I fall well within the middle class, have 2 kids, and am in reasonable health yet am paying far more for poorer health care than I did a decade ago, and beyond the anecdotal evidence that is the same for every family I've spoken to for the last few years it is clear that the ADA is deeply disliked by a vast swath of America for precisely that reason.
The ACA is a shell game that siphoned money from people who had it, dropped it into a big corporate hole, and spat out a bit of it at people who didn't have as much. As a political issue, we are seeing "success stories" trotted out so as to convince the rest of us that gosh, isn't this worth it?
No, it isn't. There has been no net gain with the ACA. It was passed so we could see what was in it, and turns out most of what was in it was a lobbyist Christmas wrapped in a ton of politician incompetence.
It was wealth-destroying political nonsense in the same sense as "cash for clunkers". Feel good, think less.
