I was actually happy with the way things were before. Yes the cost of health care was increasing, but the quality was increasing and there were major advances in healthcare and medicine at a rapid rate. R&D is expensive and it's a cost that the consumer is not sensitive too.

I opted to pay the penalty, rather than $465 a month with a $10K deductible . Affordable-NOT !

ACA managed to take a clusterfuck of overlapping ad-hoc systems and make them cluster-fuckier. Impressive.

I ain't no fan of Bush, but this made me chuckle. I'm sure it's a micro-aggression of some sort.

Maybe we could get some sort of awesome combination of Medicare and VA . . . for everyone?

Yup. That would suck. One of my guys has been waiting for more than a year to close out his VA disability claim. It's all fucking bullshit. I honestly thinks we were better off before.

I prefer change from suck -> less suck, not suck (A) -> suck (B).

ACA seems to be more of the latter than the former.

I think that all comes down to the perspective you are coming from. For me the ACA changed nothing for my healthcare (same provider and same price) Some got a worse deal, and some got a better deal.

The ACA has put us on a better path to get our health care system back to the right path, and the old system was never going to do that.
