I favor single payer. I think the ACA should have been a one page bill that gave everyone the option (but not a mandate) to sign up for Medicaid. That would have been simple and easy to understand, would not have required any new government bureaucracies, and probably would have had the support of a lot of moderate Republicans. People who wanted to keep their private plans would have been able to keep them, so no reasonable person would have had any reason to object to it.
Instead, this is what we ended up with:
