Question for people who keep using terms like "disaster" for the ACA. What does that look like? People get health care but costs are too high? People everywhere try to get health care but can't? Hospitals have lines running out the door with 24 hour wait-lists? Death panels for Grandma?
I don't think the ACA has it all figured out by any means, but I have such a disconnect with the doomsday talk folks.
I think it will get people covered. It will help pay for coverage but not lower the real costs of coverage.
I think it will break the budget based on how its structured. Medicare is widely popular and covers a lot of people. Its very fiscally problematic though.
I dont believe in death panels, killing grandma etc. I just think it will cost a whole lot more that we think and the evidence to date doesn't encourage me.
