Nobody in their right mind should be defending the ACA imo, and nobody here has done so as far as I can tell. Your comment is a special kind of annoying. Multiple strawmen.

You're right. Those little babies born with pre-existing conditions, denied coverage by insurance companies, would never defend the ACA.

The ACA was overwhelmingly a landslide giveaway to private insurance corporations, who have used that taxpayer money to multiply their lobbying influence. The # of insured Americans has only increased a hair more than the total US population, while the cost of insurance and cost of healthcare services have greatly increased in the time since.It's a classic case of Democratic Party means testing and bureaucratization.

Exactly, private insurance companies with millionaire executives are the most efficient way to handle a fundamental human need for our society. /s (this means sarcasm).
