I don't have much certainty about any of this and have expressed very little.

Ah. OK. Well, I suspect, based on details about ACA as implemented, that "more details" is not what sells stuff like this.

In fact, Trump managed to win against all odds by offering almost no details about his policy proposals.

But that comparison is interesting. Obama and Trump both won. But detailed ACA passed and detail-free Trumpcare failed.

Detailed ACA passed and was an anchor on Dems, including right before Trump's election, until people faced losing it.

Good point. But, still: it passed, and it has survived, and it represents a major improvement over status quo ante, I think.

For those who aren't forced to pay 9% of their income for health insurance they can't afford to use, I guess. That's not you, though.

That, btw, was a known detail going into ACA: 16-20% of people would still not be able to bc able to access CARE bc of costs.

Which, again, we know is one of the things that led ACA to be less popular than it could be. Likewise was perception of unfair access.

Medicare for all fixes both of those things. Does Chait have a fix to both of those things, or just Overton policing?
