I suspect you're being downvoted because you assume that your experience is universal, or that because you saw an increase in costs under the ACA that inherently means that it was bad.

Many people saw reductions in costs under the ACA. Many people who were not insured before are insured now because of it. It sucks that you ended up paying more, but that doesn't justify "I don't know how you can say [it was a huge leap in the right direction]."

Fair enough, thanks for the reply.

I guess I should say, it was really bad for me so I don't support it. The same could be said in the other direction though, if it was really bad for me I'm sure it was really bad for others. So maybe it wasn't universally a step in the right direction or a step in the wrong direction.

I suspect it was bad for people who were healthy and earn enough money to be disqualified from any sort of tax break or assistance.
