64. That's the one thing I don't dispute

I disagree on how you think the ACA has anything to do with attitudes on MFA. The ACA still relies on greedy private insurance and the public option has to be strong enough to resist the power of insurance companies. At best, it was a step to universal care, and better than what we had - but not the type of care needed IMO.

We can disagree on where to go in health care. I don’t feel like arguing this anymore when there is a lot of positive in Biden winning.
