One thing I want to add to this is that to "get around" paying for coverage, HDHP plans are becoming more prevalent. They won't cover a lot of Medical costs until you hit your deductible regardless if you have a copay. And even a small (under 5K) deductible can be difficult for a family or individual to afford/meet. What they want you to do is get a HSA (those are fine but have rules) or an FSA (these have some *extra* shenanigans) to pay for your healthcare until you hit that deductible. So, y'know, yes you have coverage and can't be denied/kicked off your plan for existing but it's can be a bitch and a half to get health insurance to actually pay for shit.
That said: the ACA was the right move. We need it. We need it expanded. We need the same kind of health coverage as places like Norway and Sweden.
One thing the analysts back in 2012 were right about is that they’d stop calling it “Obamacare” the second it started working and lo and behold anytime it was actually threatened under Trump it became The ACA and now Leftists who were in Kindergarten when the ACA was passed think Democrats have added nothing to this country.
