What? were you alive then? There were two vectors


that the ACA was trying to deal with. One, unemployment had skyrocketed, meaning millions of people had lost employer plan coverage, and insurers were not providing affordable insurance options to them. Secondly, the cost to payers, and people who still had insurance, of providing critical healthcare to people without insurance or a means to pay, was skyrocketing and adding costs that could have been avoided if people could get regular care.

ACA was a humanitarian effort that, if it could have been fixed might have actually taken costs OUT of the health care delivery sector
