I hear what you are saying. However, in practice it is not working out.

I am currently making 0. A whole whopping of 0 dollars per month. What is my ACA cost? 540 a month. Cobra was 1100. For a similar plan as the cobra through ACA? 970 (still not as good). The 540 is a 100% catastrophic 'low income' plan. If I had income they wanted to charge me 1200-1400 a month for it. They cover 50% of the doctor visits (up to 3). No dental, no vision. 14,000 deductible. No subsidy from medicare, denied (3 times so far). A plan with some dental/vision and 2k deductible, 50 dollar copays, and not ACA qualified? I can get for ~100 a month. Yet come tax time I have to pay a fine as if I had no insurance. Three different insurance agents, none could get the cost bellow 540 and ACA qualified. I make too little to get a tax subsidy and am too healthy to qualify for anything.

The insurance companies are dropping out because the plans are marginally profitable to negative profit. When it was enacted I had 10 to chose from. Now I have 1. The remaining 1 is talking about dropping out too.

Healthcare is a good idea. But unless we properly fund it, meaning a proper tax, it will just be a continued problem of funding and eventual monopoly pricing which in the state I live in is the point we are at. The whole ACA is a insurance company written bit of legislation that even they can not make work. But even then can we trust the gov to get it right? Considering the total mess they have made of the one national medical organization they do have control of, the VA.

Honestly, most people are not treating Trump in the way they should. They should treat him as a business man who is willing to negotiate. Instead they treat him as if he is incompetent/nazi. He does not discourage that much as it allows him to sucker punch you (its in his books). Go to him with a solid business proposal and a method to execute he will listen to you. If you show up with a lame plan that you can not execute on or can not fund he will eat you alive (like the shark he really is). Your congress critters are 'my way or the highway' sorts of dudes. Look no further than the way they all vote. Dont think so? Look up your own congressman and senator. I would bet they 95%+ of the time vote party line, I know mine do and I hold them in the same contempt. They do not vote for you or me. They vote for their parties almost always. The democrats are playing that to effect this week with the sandbagged 'town halls'. The republicans did the same thing a few years ago. Next week it will be something else. It is almost play by play from the Saul Alinsky rules for radicals playbook what they are doing. These people do not in any fashion have your or my best interests in mind. They want power and ACA is just a tool for them to guilt you into thinking they are right. I wish I could say it is working. But when it came time for me to get it? I was left in the cold.
