As someone actively involved in fighting for Obamacare a decade ago, it’s time for a confession. While much good came from it, the truth is it didn't achieve all we'd hoped. Millions more have insurance now, which is huge. But it's so costly many are barely able to use it. (1/11)

The ACA did many good things. Unfortunately, it kept in place all the oligarchical, profiteering measures the insurance companies and providers need to keep us enslaved to this tyrannical system.

Insurance companies are the middleman. Medicare for All would operate to cut out the middleman. They wouldn't make huge profits on the sick anymore.

Until the Medicare fee schedules are reformed, hospitals will continue to charge and get paid outrageously high fees. Same for professional medical practitioners. Thus, there will still be large misallocations of funds and important overall constraints on budgets will remain.

Imo the ACA put the entire burden for the country on the working class. This past year my small family paid out of pocket over $20,000. And the health CEOs make MILLIONS.

I sold medical insurance before and after ACA and 100% agree w/ everything you have said. I quit and make ~$50K and can't afford health insurance now. The owners of the brokerage I worked at for 10 years did not offer healthcare to my wife and son despite being multi-millionaires

I have a theory-when they started incurring expense of high risk accounts/wanted out of ACAmarketplace& saw that single payer was becoming popular-they went w/public option,to shed high risk accts&get out of ACA.All proposing public option are doing insurance cos bidding IMO
