While the ACA is far from perfect, it is much better than the alternative—nothing. The main detractors of the ACA have had 14 years to come up with a “repair and replace” plan and they have never put forward any concrete proposal. The ACA now covers over 40 million Americans, including over 21 million in marketplace plans. There are many challenges with our health care delivery system. These challenges were not caused by the ACA. We really don’t want to go back to the days of pre-existing conditions and catastrophic plans. As an FYI, there is no Pre-existing condition limitation on Medicare Supplemental plans if you sign up at the time of eligibility. No underwriting, no pre-ex. Must issue at age 65.
