1. The only solution is single payer

The ACA was about bribing the health insurance industry into doing the right thing, and it seems to have failed. Unfortunately, I fear things will have to get worse before they get better. In other words, Trump and the Republicons will fail to change the ACA, and as a spite tactic, will run it into the ground as fast as they can. Hopefully, they will get the blame, and we will have a Democratic President, House, and Senate in January 2021, who will fix things.

However, for me, I hit Medicare eligibility in the month of November 2020. and presuming that doesn't change, I will no longer have a dog in the fight, as they say. But, I will work to make sure my children and grandchildren have a system that actually takes care of people, and not just one that makes insurance company executives rich.
