It is working out in practice for the 20-25 million who have insurance now through ACA who didn't have it before and most of them aren't paying 540/month because there's no way they could afford it. I have to ask what state you are in, when you shopped and if you actually put in a request through healthcare.gov because I've seen a couple from TX paying 29/month and when my income went to 0 in OR my coverage cost through healthcare.gov went to 0/mo.
We should have insurance done the same way as other advanced countries and have it be a right of all citizens paid for in taxes, but obviously the US is having to baby step its way there because of the greedy Republicans. If you asked Democrats if they wanted to switch to Canada style insurance you'd have to problem getting there. The ACA is not giving most unemployed people a 540/month bill, I'm curious about the questions I asked above. Even when I've made shit pay of 31K/year at a job I paid way less than 540/month out of my paycheck for insurance and it was good coverage, 5k deductible, 10-20 dollar copays on doc and drugs, dental etc. Your figures are way off from anything I've seen.
Trump is a moron actually. He shows it every time he opens his mouth. When Obama first took office the Republicans banded together to shut him down at every move (some out of principle thinking he was "progressive" though he isn't and some out of racism) and the parties have moved further to the left and right since and can no longer get along with each other. Both sides now take corporate money so they are corrupt by definition. The only hope is that the Democrats get to a point to agree to stop taking corporate money so they could have people's best interest again.
