The ACA was a travesty. But let's not forget that it was the only thing that really had any hope of passing, thanks to one political party.

Funnily enough, speaking of lies and kool-aid, when you talk of ObamaCare to supporters of that political party, they are vehemently opposed.

"What if, instead of ObamaCare, there was, say, an Affordable Care Act that did X, Y and Z?" (where X, Y and Z were actual features of the ACA)

"Oh, that would be much better! I'd love that!"
