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?

US life expectancy barely increased since 2000 through 2019 while many countries leap frogged us.

During covid US saw larger drop in life expectancy vis a vis other countries. And recovery is worse them these countries too.

Us health care system is providing shitier outcomes today then it was 10 years ago. The system ACA set up is the key contributing factor in decline of quality.

That number includes affordability. If you include that metric, then yes health care is doing worse.

But that’s not declining quality.
