ACA would have been EASY to fix.... [View all]

If one wants a system where the health care parasitic middlemen are still allowed to function... it seems the ACA could easily have been fixed. Create that public option, fix the risk corridors Rubio proudly claimed he sabotaged, and stop breaking the market down by counties. It's this latter feature that allows insurers to pick and choose the markets they want to serve... and can mean the choice is down to one company... or even none.
