Sorry, We Don’t Take Obamacare - A Response

I was pleasantly surprised to find that a comment of mine was a flagged a NYT Pick in an article,  Sorry, We Don’t Take Obamacare , implying that it was somehow 'worthy': The 'failures' of the ACA will be used differently by the major parties. The Republicans will use it as a cudgel to reduce it, while the Democrats will see it as a reason to move toward single-payer ala Medicare. Even under a single-payer type system, there will be problems, but as a progressive and humane citizenry, we need to move toward a better system, one that covers all, regardless of the ability to pay, paired with FDA, FTC, and USDA - there are other related enablers of poor public welfare - that act in citizens' interests, not corporations.
