Here are a number of metrics that have improved since the ACA.

- percent uninsured decreased

- number of people skipping treatment for cost reasons decreased

- number of people with "pre-existing conditions" covered increased

- satisfaction with coverage increased

- growth of healthcare costs slowed

Not to mention other provisions that are broadly popular such as children being allowed to stay on their parents health insurance through the age of 26 and mandates that require all plans to cover basic services.
