Out of claiming the ACA as a positive political legacy? Is that what the ACA is about?

I THOUGHT it was supposed to be about getting "affordable" "care" to the masses of people who need it, even though the law itself is about insurance.

It's good to know that the ACA's value lies in political points for one politician; that it's about Obama, and not health care.

Because that's clearly what's important.
