An alternative before would have been to leave the existing system of health care coverage in place for those who it was working OK in coverage and service.
Then they could have done something to address those areas and those idividuals they were supposedly trying to improve coverage for or help.
That would have been a much smaller, much more identifiable bite than upending the entire system.
For me the old system worked just fine. A fix was MAYBE needed for those who had no insurance or lack of coverage or could not get insurance.
Why do I say MAYBE? Because very little is said these days about the large percent of those who have no insurance who have no intention of getting or wanting insurance as long as they have to spend even $1 of their own money.
Health care costs were and are destined to increase no matter what. The ACA has only increased the eventuality and the rate of the financial increases.
