A wash on what? It reduced the number of uninsured people by millions. It saved lives.

Any method of expanding coverage was going to require healthy people to subsidize sick ppl, and require folks with more money to subsidize those with less money. Otherwise you just keep a system where the poor cannot afford insurance and the sick get rejected when they apply.
Like I said, I’m not arguing for or against the ACA. I don’t have strong feelings on it I’m just noting other points of view. If you’re position is that the ACA was great and anyone who disagrees is a bad person, then that’s what it is I guess

Ok but without the ACA we would have a lot more people uninsured. I just don’t see why that’s preferable. Good things cost money. I get that some people like their money more than they like other people having healthcare, I just think it’s shortsighted.

I’m not in the business of telling people what they should value. I have my own opinions about good policy, but good policy has ronaccount for people’s reactions and incentives
