ACA, while not perfect, was a step towards universal health care.

ehhhhhh

It was basically privatized universal care, which was a bad thing since costs to the consumer went up and there was no price limits, only the guarantee that preexisting conditions were no longer a factor in denying coverage (but still affected how much you paid for premiums)

plus the Supreme Court struck down the individual mandate, so suddenly people started opting out of insurance at all, legally. insurance, being a risk pool, reduces costs the most by having more participants. so, yeah, we're right back where we started, except the preexisting conditions part, which will only make insurance more expensive the less that people sign on

in other words: eliminate private insurance and create one large program that covers everyone, with price ceilings, otherwise enjoy paying out the nose for health care for eternity
