There have been other times with a larger portion of society not covered by health insurance. So this makes less sense to be happening now simply based on access.
Having health insurance doesn’t equal having access to health care. I know a number of people who are technically insured but can’t afford a doctor’s visit.
It’s me! I technically have medical insurance but doctor’s visits cost too much to get seen when I want/need, and the insurance covers nothing…it cost me $60 for a 5 minute teledoc call for a nasal spray once. The spray was an additional $35. This was last year
That’s a fantastic change that happened, but it doesn’t change the fact that people like me have to spend 20k a year before my insurance actually starts paying for anything.
That really only matters for massive cost care, like hospitalization and surgery. ACA does not matter for the majority of people, as the deductible is usually significantly higher than the median net (post expenses) income of people.

50 million more people covered with ACA and that doesn’t mean anything?
