I know I know, the ACA isn't perfect

but it has helped many people, and it is the beginning of something better. Also, it moved healthcare in the US off the dime.

President Obama deserves so much credit for this, and history will prove this out...if the ACA survives, which I think it will, we will have single payer in the future, when otherwise, it would never had got there.

Obama's steering of the ship in the development of the ACA was pure genius, considering that the law has been spit at, stomped on, shot, stabbed and punched. It is still surviving.

I hope it continues to.

issue isn’t the merits of the ACA.

The issue is if the GOP wants to replace the ACA, they need to replace it with something as good or better – something at which they’ve failed to do.
