next time someone bashes ACA

I didn't "dump" on any one. They asked for me to be "sent to them". So I went. And I expressed happiness that they were helped. I was merely pointing out why their happiness didn't even begin to cover the myriad of reasons that people might "dump" on the ACA.

And by the by, right now, there are not significantly larger numbers of people covered after ACA than when Obama took office. Now, that should be changing here as we move forward, because a big chunk of that is due to the people that lost it when they lost their jobs in the economic down turn. And of course it doesn't help that several states, including two large ones, are not participating in the Medicaid option.

But in the end, that's what many are speaking of. For all the hype, the ACA didn't accomplish (at least not yet) nearly what was promised. And even what was promised was way less that what was needed. It was suppose do be a BFD, but so far it's turned out to be a much smaller one.

So I'm glad that some got something, but it doesn't really change the fact that many of the neediest were left out in the cold.
