Shouldn't private health insurance really be called corporate health insurance? Maybe people would think differently about their love of "private" insurance.

themselves.
In any case, my corporate insurance kept changing at the job I retired from a couple years ago. The last time it went to Aetna where I found I could no longer see my orthopedic surgeon or use my preferred physical therapist because they were not in their network. I haven't had that happen that could be blamed on the ACA, though some might try.

It depends on what your employer paid for.
It still sucks. Single payer is better.

are going to want to keep it no matter what you call it.
