In reply to the discussion: Face It we lost health care reform battle [View all]NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)34. I disagree and the reason why is simple.
The ACA isn't very good overall. It is very good for a small percentage of people. It further entrenches the for profit insurance industry. Everyday, health insurance in this country is made out as the joke it is. We have a very poor system. It is already a crisis. The ACA did not fundamentally fix the problems. As it gets worse, and ACA or no ACA it will get worse, the clear solution will be single payer. The failures of the health insurance industry and the ACA will allow us to continue forward towards a successful healthcare system.

I think million or so people impacted will look at their coverage and decide ACA/Exchange is better.

If what you say is true, my fellow Americans deserve everything that will follow such a scenario.
