I heard all the speeches by President Obama as to how his ACA would help millions of Americans. No doubt it will help some, but who are the real winners of the ACA?

Health insurance companies won't be able to kill people. That's a big step. When you have cancer and your health insurance company drops you they are essentially attempting to kill you.
But they get away with it because they are a corporation. If a person were to do what they do they would be charged with 1st degree murder.
While people will get coverage they couldn't get before, I think insurance companies, drug companies and IT companies (who set up the internet exchanges) have done extraordinarily well with this. Hospitals I am not sure of due to penalty on readmission of patients causing no reimbursement.
Why they just couldn't have given individuals the same tax credit as businesses to purchase existing insurance plans is beyond me. Would have been a lot simpler.
Don't forget people who do not work, or make poor life choices that cause everyone else to pay for. They are going to benifit a lot.
Don't forget people who have insurance and pay into it for years, only to contract a serious illness, reach their lifetime cap, and end up bankrupt because of medical bills. Or all of the children who will be covered who are not now because their family cannot afford healthcare. Or the people who get dropped the minute they get sick.
