I don't disagree, but equal outcomes is not the goal of the ACHA (or the ACA, for that matter). These laws attempt to address the most serious failure of our employer-based health care financing system - the inability of folks who don't work for large employers, and who have pre-existing health conditions, to access health insurance.
The ACA failed because it didn't make health insurance more affordable, because it distorted the insurance market by forcing the young to subsidize the old, and careful consumers of health care to subsidize profligate consumers, and because it placed such burdens on employers that many employees lost their jobs. The ACHA addresses each of these problems. No, it isn't perfect - not even close - but it's a YUGE improvement on the ACA, IMO, and furthers the Trump administration's goal of loosening the grip of oppressive regulations that cost jobs.
I can see you totally miss the point many attempt to make.
Why is it the proper role of government, to be involved with health insurance or health care, for that matter ?
First you state that government messes up health insurance. So why not merely get out of it entirely?
It seems like with many things, government's involvement drives costs up drastically, through by ridiculous requirements, excessive record keeping, etc.
Our society and culture have become degraded, by the elimination of consequences for unsuccessful behaviors.
An example is people that have children, they cannot afford to house, feed and provide medical care for.
Collectivist national health care is merely another such scheme, to shield people from their life's consequences.
Section 8 housing, EBT food stamps, national health care. Paid by the people that follow rules, benefitting those who do not.
And on top, a government which intentionally admits low-skilled workers, to drive down wages for the lowest skilled of OUR own workers.
I want government to stop MESSING up things, be it health insurance, or low-skilled low paid work.
As Reagan stated, government is the problem, not the solution.
