Yeah, the ACA was watered down significantly and IMO unnecessarily but it's still leagues better than the pre-ACA landscape and is helping millions of people.

You just have to view it as a step on the path to UHC/something that isn't trash, not the endpoint. I wish we had taken a bigger step back then, and I think that's a reasonable grievance (even if some political dialogue around it is often wrong re: Senate math) to have but it has undeniably helped millions and that shouldn't be forgotten.

Edit: If you mean to say you think I was implying that the ACA is causing loss of insurance, hell no. It's a fragile safety net in this situation and should bring even sharper attention (really this should be like message #2 after COVID-19 at this point) that the Trump administration and GOP are literally trying to cut that safety net down in court as we speak. That our current healthcare system is reliant on our increasingly partisan courts to not do something ridiculous (which they have been doing with increasing frequency and brazenness !) isn't a ringing endorsement for the health (pardon the pun) of the system overall.
