EN,  Sometimes one gets a great deal and pays at a steep discount.  Sometimes one gets a good deal and pays a little less.  Sometimes one gets a fair deal and pays what they should.  Sometimes one gets a bad deal and pays too much.  Sometimes one just gets ripped off.  And that is the point of my question.  I just don't know if the ACA was better than nothing, unless of course one needs health insurance and can't obtain it any other way.  But my real question was about sustainability?  The debt we are loading on future generations for our own needs is reprehensible in my opinion.

I hope the current political debate over healthcare will lead to a better way than the ACA or AHCA.  Sometimes I think the best thing that could happen is both programs fail in order to force a real solution.  But that would probably lead to more kicking the can down the road and have real life, death, sickness, and financial costs for many REAL people.
