ACA is a surprisingly right-wing idea. Obama is a moderate for pushing it so hard. ACA will only work if the free-market steps up its game to rectify the price-discovery problem.<p>Its mind-boggling to me that the right-wing doesn&#x27;t like Obamacare in general. The major &#x27;left wing&#x27; portions are:<p>1. Individual Mandate (but all Republicans agree that pre-existing conditions are bad, but they have no idea how to get rid of it)<p>2. The health care exchange website (Republicans don&#x27;t seem to like new government programs at all)<p>And... that&#x27;s about it. Everything else attempts to leverage the free market infrastructure to solve the problem.
