11. ACA is not single payer.

It simply keeps us locked in to exorbitant premiums for insurance that we can't, after the premium, afford to use. Because we're still not done paying deductibles and copays. The ACA NEEDS to go away, in favor of actual health CARE.

The reason why single payer is not on the table for discussion is that those who crafted the ACA didn't ALLOW it on the table. The DEMOCRATS didn't allow it.
