there were some good things that came out of it, like covering people til theyre 26 and better covereage of preventative care(my colonoscopies are covered) but yea, the rest of it was some bullshit. The marketplace was mostly a rip off and a super high deductible joke.
Thanks. Ultimately it was a "death of despair," and much of that despair was either caused or exacerbated by the low quality of medical and mental health care that's available to the poor in this country, and the debt and unemployability that resulted from it. Other factors existed, but if we had universal health care he would still be alive today.

Obamacare saved my friend's life (when he was 25), but was a major factor in what killed him (ten years later).

bourgeois social murder
Indeed.
At least we got the public option though.
Yeah the medicaid expansion and banning denial for "pre existing conditions" were good, everything else was a handout to insurance companies
