The ACA is indeed a tragic story of how something so beneficial could become so maligned. There should have been bipartisan support to fix the ACA, but instead politics got in the way. No company ever does a launch of a major new product without making changes along the way in response to problems and unanticipated situations. Mid course corrections and reform are always needed, no matter how good the original plan was. The Republicans refused to allow changes, even when it made sense to do so. Should be interesting to watch their next move over the coming months. The shoes is about to be on the other foot.
