It simply dug the parasitic health insurance industry in deeper. There can be no long lasting solution to our healthcare problems that involves for-profit insurance companies. Eradicating, or radically restricting that industry is necessary for solving those problems. The ACA is just another gift for insurance companies.

But it does do away with lifetime caps, preexisting conditions, adds coverage requirements, lets kids be covered until 26, and added minimum spending of member care requirements.

It did a lot of good, but it doesn't address our rising costs which aren't driven by insurance. We're collectively using so much more care and more drugs. My insurance company lost half a billion dollars last year. Hardly raking in the profits there.

Which was passed by the House but stripped by the Senate, before being signed by President Obama.

If that had been retained, we would have been in a widely different position today with regard to health care in this country.

What might have been.

Great job Senate Dems.

I wouldn't waste my money on Congress.

We have people who don't take the responsibility to exercise and eat right. We have malingerers who become professional patients. We have institutional, monopolistic guilds such as the AMA and the two APAs. We have highly coded and structured insurance and medical infrastructure, resulting in robotic delivery of health care. We have too much litigation. We have a pharmaceutical industry that more and more resembles the junk food industry. We have overworked healthcare staff. We have underappreciated healthcare staff. We have deadwood administrators armed to the teeth with IT reports and spreadsheets. Have I missed anything?
