Any republican will admit there have been success stories from the ACA, but the ACA is a huge failure overall. The Governor of Minnesota was the ACA’s biggest fan until last year when he said the ACA was no longer affordable. Former President Clinton also said the ACA was the craziest thing and that it hurts middle income families and small businesses.
Large insurance companies are leaving the ACA because the ACA is a failure. This is what liberals don’t understand. Yes, it’s nice that you can’t be turned down for pre-existing conditions, but there’s assurance that your insurance is going to be affordable. Premiums have skyrocketed (unless you’re being completely subsidized by the Govt) and the max oop (out of pocket) and deductible has risen greatly. The ACA was designed to protect medical insurance companies, not you and I. The medical insurance companies are even being compensated for their losses. Don’t believe me, do a little research and if I’m wrong, show me.
Bottom line people is the ACA is a disaster and it started falling apart in 2015 and continued in 2016. The number of people who have signed up for the coverage is far less than what President Obama stated. The CBO has the real numbers.
Of course, there are some who have benefited. Was their life saved? Who knows. Could they have purchased insurance without the ACA? Yes!
