Lots of questions. Regarding the ACA question, it really depends


on your philosophy, IMO. If you want to insure everyone, then you like ACA, and are willing to pay more under the current insurance structure. If you don't want to insure everyone, then you hate it, and you don't want to pay more.

Also, based on what I understand, a single payer system of some sort is the way to insure everyone at lower costs/person. This would kill the insurance industry (which would result in lower costs), as well as hurt drug companies, which is the real impediment. Drug (and insurance) companies own our politicians in both parties. However, if we could overcome this, we could have lower costs and universal coverage.

The tax issue is another issue altogether, and I agree is a potential disaster - the deficits could be tremendous.
