> So if you think the ACA turned out pretty well (or poorly), to whom do you ascribe the credit (or blame)? To the Democrats for pushing the idea, or Republicans and the healthcare industry for scaling back its initial ambitions?
Classic class warfare at work.
Here you stand, trying to blame 1 of the political parties, when the people responsible for ACA were company boards of health insurance companies and any other front-men of large business interests (doctor cartels, medical supply companies etc.)
In the US, both parties are captive to large business interests, with mostly non-overlapping areas of interest.
In almost all cases, you should be looking very closely at large business interests and elect leaders who have shown strong anti-trust tendencies and understand how the social contract works.
