The ACA has been a small baby step in the right direction. Soaring costs is the biggest problem, and, while the ACA didn't stop soaring costs, it at least slowed it down a bit. More people are covered than before. Of course, we need to have everyone covered and have access to health care, but that goal hasn't yet been achieved. All of the doom and gloom predictions of doctors leaving medical practice and hospitals closing their doors didn't happen.
There is a lot of work to be done before the US has a truly affordable health care system, but the ACA is not to blame for that.
Huh ?
How is deliberately targeting and reducing the discretionary income of Middle class Americans a step in the right direction ?
Obamcare has no impact on the Rich or the poor.
How is a piece of legislation that forces Businesses to cut back hours, hire more part time positions, cut back employee dependant benefits a step in the right direction ?
It was such a step in the right direction that Obama had to step in and unilaterally put off the Business mandates because he knew it would lead to huge losses in the Mid-terms.
Yes, there were STILL huge losses ( Obama and the Democrats have serioulsy screwed things up )
And allot of " doom and gloom " has happened even before the law was implemented 100 percent.
There was nothing " affordable " about the ACA. It was sold on a long list of lies.
