The concept behind the Affordable Care Act was the only good part.

The execution was abominable.

The economics were infeasable.

The fact that it was passed by a congress that did not read it is irrational and reeks of malfeasance.

Theoretically, the best part of the ACA was the pre-existing condition portion. However, the only insureds that can take advantage of that are the poor who will not have to pay anyway or the wealthy that can afford the thousands per year in premiums.

More people will end up UNINSURED after the smoke clears than were uninsured before ACA. Many middle income people may be able to keep some coverage, but they will see a reduced standard of life in order to be able to pay the premiums.

At the end of the day, if you had been working hard to make a good living, you will suffer under the ACA.

Like I said, the Concept of Affordable Health Care is a Wonderful thing! However, taking that Affordable Health Care from one family and giving it to another is a SERIOUSLY FLAWED process.

Great post! Clear, concise and to the point. I too agree totally!
