The insurance companies fucked people, not the ACA.
If Obamacare had not taken effect, the insurance companies would not have cancelled most of the policies. For employee plans, once your current collective bargaining agreement runs out it's a goner.
You make good points. We really should throw ourselves on the mercy of the insurance companies. If we don't piss them off by trying to regulate them they're sure to bring down prices, insure everyone and do their damnedest to maximize the quality of healthcare in the U.S.[/sarcasm]
