The ACA has a lot of things to like about it but this isn't one of them. It's definitely a helluva lot better than pre-ACA.
Is there any evidence of this? Or just you said so?
I've been thinking of making a thread on this for a while, maybe now is the time.
Tons of evidence. The ACA was passed in 2010. We're far enough away that today isn't much of a counterfactual. But look at what was happening in say 2014-17. Costs came in way below projected, tens of millions gained coverage, patients gained tons of consumer protections, medical outcomes improved, patient financial stress decreased, etc. There was an ocean of positive results in a fairly short time.
