Hmmmm not quite. I like it, I just believe that universal healthcare is a far better choice. The ACA is better then what was before. Thats not exactly saying much though.
At best better for some, worse for others. That is no solution. Just because you say you are O.K. with it doesn't negate my point though.

But you are right, a LOT of liberals don't like it because we believe that universal health care makes a lot more sense.
Unfortunately an article like this one won't mention that.
its just you have to wait hours if not days to see a doctor. by that point people could be dead.

And nobody was stepping over bodies of self-pays in the gutters of streets, either. ACA is a trillion dollar wet kiss by the pill-dependent progressive left to the medical industrial complex.
At least they are now paid for by insurance instead of all the free care we were giving away prior.
Actually, we were told the reason the cost was so high was because these costs are being added to everyone elses cost, which is true, but the federal government is now expected to lose $1.7 TRILLION over the next decade with ACA and STILL 30 million are expected to go without.

Only if these people are on medicaid, if they go in saying they pay cash......the hospital could still be out.
The silly part, the people who bought insurance before are still buying it, the ones who ran up hospital bills without paying, still have no insurance.
People actually go to the ER for a cough......this is one of our problems with the education system, people are not even taught who pays the bills when they fail to. ER is for a real emergency, not cold medicine.
Firstly we pay through higher premiums and secondly that free care has shifted from the ER to taxpayer backed subsidies.
And dont forget 35 million are STILL without insurance.. never projected to fall below 30 million...
$1.7 trillion well spent.. NOT
