    The ACA was better designed than even its supporters realized: it's been robust to Trumpian efforts at sabotage, largely thanks to the structure of subsidies. Interesting point: it's looking more and more like stealth single-payerhttps://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/4/5/17198362/obamacare-enrollment-2018-trump-sabotaging …

        Here's what I mean: the majority of the newly insured under the ACA got their coverage through Medicaid, i.e., government insurancehttps://www.macpac.gov/subtopic/medicaid-enrollment-changes-following-the-aca/ …

        And the great majority of those buying private insurance on the marketplaces are heavily subsidized -- in effect insulated from premium increaseshttps://twitter.com/larry_levitt/status/981286794317606912 …

        Paul Krugman added,

        Larry LevittVerified account @larry_levitt
        The average ACA federal marketplace enrollee eligible for subsidies is paying $89 per month for health insurance. Last year the average was $106. If the Trump administration was trying to undermine the market, it didn't work too well. https://www.cms.gov/Newsroom/MediaReleaseDatabase/Fact-sheets/2018-Fact-sheets-items/2018-04-03.html …

        Trump voters love the ACA. It’s Obamacare that they can’t stand.

        Prices have been increased 300x, but otherwise, it's still there.

        thank goodness! We have purchased every year & without it would have been forced to sell our home. Seriously saved our home because our monthly health insurance premium was almost double our mortgage/taxes/ins.

        What strikes me is how the ACA was designed to hold up even if it's opponents took power.

        I certainly support the ACA but it needs reform. My $1200/month + 6k deductible is not single payer.

        Would be nice if there were some bipartisan efforts to do that! So frustrating.
