It helped insurance companies. The uninsured rate is super low these days but tons of people still can't afford premiums and our of pocket costs and skip healthcare anyway
And whenever people try to call out conservative Democratic party members for screwing things up they get shouted down in comment threads just like these
One of The pointa of the ACA was to force insurance companies to allow people with preexisting conditions the ability to not get denied by insurances. insurances hate covering people you know will be sick, and love healthy people. they were not happy with this change.
I agree the problems you said need to be resolved still, but that's for Congress to address now or whenever. Hopefully soon. The ACA wasn't a bill to help lower rates across the board.
I don't like conservative Democrats, but I love them more than Republican politicians because they help more. I enjoy progressive Democrats more than both. Can't speak for other people on Lemmy.
