Edit Impressive how a debate can go when one participant doesn’t have mental health issues! Thanks for coming everybody!
The ACA was mostly designed by a republican (Mitt Romney). So it’s designed to let companies keep making big profits on health care which should be never be for profit. Then some of the important stuff that would have made it more affordable got kicked out by the courts, such as letting states (including mine) choose not to expand medicaid which left many people unable to get either medicaid or ACA. Still even with all the problems, it’s a hell of a lot better than things were before the ACA when millions of people with pre-existing conditions couldn’t even get insurance at all. But like you say there is still a lot of corrupt shit going on in health care that needs fixed, such as “pharmacy benefit managers” jacking up drug prices and lining their own pockets 😠
