What? Just because it results in higher insurance rates doesn't make it a 'good' piece of legislation.

The 'affordable' care act did literally nothing to assure long term affordability of health care in the U.S. It just made it mandatory to have insurance, mandatory for businesses to provide it, and provided government subsidies for it.

I don't see how writing what amounts to a blank check to an industry already rife with hilariously inflated costs is in any way an effective long term solution.

There's a reason American health care is the most expensive in the world, while not even cracking the top 10 in effectiveness.
