and I can tell you that you answered your own question for reasonably sane people on the left.

Private, for-profit insurance is the foundation of the ACA. It's the wrong foundation if we ever hope to get a universal not-for-profit national health CARE system.

I, too, want health care for everyone, and if the ACA helps some get that, I'm all for it. I'm not for, though, pretending like it's helping everybody. It's not.
