"The ACA could be the crowning gem of Barack Obama’s presidential legacy."

It's a piece of crap patched together legislation that gave far too much to the GOP in exchange for votes that never materialized. It was way over-compromised and is based on a system created by the Heritage Foundation, which puts ideology before intelligence.

Still, it is a decent piece of legislative work and is the first step towards a single payer solution.

The next step is to demonstrate how utterly useless the insurance companies are in provide health care when there's a perfectly acceptable alternative that's cheaper and provides better service for the amount of money spent: either the Medicare program or an extension of the VA program to all citizens.

Time marches on and the health insurance industry will be the 21st century's horse and buggy industry.
