Yes...I agree that it didn't go far enough. We should have gone with a single payer system that got rid of the insurance industry and for profit hospitals completely. They are the primary source of our issues...but you are ignoring the effect that having everyone insured has. Look at how that reduced premiums with auto insurance when that became mandatory...

It only forces participation by everyone. The problems are with the price gouging and corruption in the healthcare, insurance and pharmaceutical industries. The only parts of ACA that help are the provisions against denying coverage for pre-existing conditions, and providing some measure of financial assistance for those who cannot afford insurance. But neither of those do anything to fix the system. They just put bandaids on a couple of gaping wounds.
