(12,081 posts)history. Corporations are strangling this country. Insurance companies helped write ACA and are getting guaranteed customers, companies like Monsanto can force farmers to destroy last year's crops just to force them to buy new seed, the TPP which will give companies unlimited powers. Corporations own this country and they will not give up power. ACA will not magically become single payer. If anything insurance companies will continue to lobby for exemptions and allowances. Obama granted the insurance companies a delay in compliance. The American people nor the unions got the luxury of getting any delays or exemptions. Unions just got told they will not get tax credits for their premiums. You don't have to be poor to have a hard time paying premiums. My family's premium is $925/month. Someone down thread said they thought ADA was more significant. If you are just going to insist on an answer on what legislation was more significant in the past few decades I would have to say the ADA.
