United States spends $3.8T+ (yes, _trillion_) on "healthcare", up from about $1.2T in year 2000. If you think people who own Congress will allow this overloaded apple cart to be even slightly upset, let alone destroyed, you're out of your mind. ACA was effectively a trillion dollar giveaway to them, by design. This is also why costs are "rising" - the direct beneficiaries are writing laws that benefit them.

Don't get me wrong, I too wish the Moon was made of cheese and everyone held hands and sang kumbayah. But I also recognize it won't happen in my lifetime, not with the government as corrupt as ours.
