I’m the story Obamacare’s opponents don’t want you to hear

10. I have stated a long list of imperfections with this bill in past posts. I just don't feel like

reiterating them in each and every time I make a post like this.

An example of an imperfection: The employer mandate. To be honest, I think we ought to do away with it because it allows the employer to take shitty insurance because it's the cheapest, not because it provides employees with comprehensive coverage. And often, it doesn't allow employees to opt out in search of better coverage unless they're forced to pay more for coverage. That's one example of an imperfection.

Another example of an imperfection: Allowing states to opt out of setting up the exchanges. The reason why we're experiencing what we're experiencing with these Republicans is precisely due to that very issue--allowing states to opt out! It should have been mandated that states set up the exchanges. Some form of carrot needed to be a condition for their noncompliance.

These are only two examples of imperfections.

I have more, but again, I tire of having to go down this road.

The ACA is NOT perfect but it is what we have. Let's work on improving it, electing more progressives to office, pushing for a public option a the very least. Complaining about not having a public option or single payer is not helping to change any outcomes. Proaction towards a viable solution is the only way.
