The worst tactical move the "left" has ever done in the US is allow itself to be tied ideologically to the ACA. To my outsider's view this is nothing but an entrenchment of the 'feudal' nature of the US health care system, and a direct subsidy to private insurance companies (even if obligations were forced on them). From a pragmatic POV I see why it was put in place, but frankly it's just awful.

If the Health Care system HAS to be a feudal system I would much rather be tied to the government than a job that can fire me at any time for any reason or one I have to stick to if anything serious happens.
