Dead CEO was enabled by the ACA to kill people for profit.
Sure it covered more people but over all healthcare quality went down and corporate parasite profit went up… Because ACA was drafted by health insurance and pharma.
Until the corporate trash is removed the process, we gonna keep getting more and more fucked
The speech of someone they never had to worry about healthcare being denied because of “pre-existing conditions” or losing access because you turned 18.
I happy that ACA worked for you dear… That’s all what matters here. We should make our national health policy around your needs. It is only fair.
I swear you guys all go to some sort of special school where they teach misunderstanding what the other person is saying as an art form
Ah yes, the extremely specific context of…turning 18? I’m happy that you’ve never needed to develop reading comprehension dear, maybe spend more time paying attention to your high school teachers.
Is your impression that insurance companies weren’t killing people for profit before the ACA came along?
It was much worse. Michael Moore did a darkly comic piece about a man who was guaranteed to die without treatment, whose insurance company was denying him treatment, and they showed up at the insurance company’s corporate office with him in tow and performed a funeral for him there. They eventually approved his coverage. But they had to work for years and years before they were able to recover the killing-people-on-purpose abilities that they had before the ACA became law, and they’re still missing some of them. They used to straight-up kick you off your health insurance if you got sick in a way that was going to be expensive for them to treat, for example. Now at least they have to be more subtle about it.
Key bench mark for health insurance is something like life expectancy… Among other factors.
The US life expectancy has been going down since mid 2000s.

Declining life expectancy is indirect but a very telling indicator.
What?
Here’s the relevant graph from the link you just posted:
Are you claiming that the difference between how the US life expectancy is rising compared to every other country’s life expectancy is rising, which has existed absolutely unmodified since Reagan both before and after the ACA, is the ACA’s fault?
Or are you saying that the decline in life expectancy which happened during Covid is the ACA’s fault?
Or something else? What do you mean “declining life expectancy” here?
