A question for my fellow skeptics: [View all]
There are two fact-like items regarding the ACA that I'd like to get your thoughts on.
First, there is a general feeling that the ACA, while eliminating some of insurance companies' biggest abuses (denying coverage, raising premiums, etc.), is also a pretty good giveaway to them because it forces more people to buy coverage. I mean, this was originally a right-wing "free market" plan designed by Heritage, right?
Second, Republicans give every indication they hate the ACA and want it repealed.
So, given that Republicans love big business, and love the insurance big business, which one of the above fact-like items are wrong? Is it all a game? Do Repubs secretly like the ACA and it's all a show? Or does the ACA really put a burden on insurance companies?
That little conflict has had me wondering for awhile. Curious as to what others think.
