The public option was also torn out at the last minute because someone died and was replaced by a Republican. So we got 75% of the improvements we wanted instead of 100%.

I think 75% is far too generous an estimate, tbh. Every policy I've acquired through the ACA-mandated marketplace has been garbage, right from the start. For-profit health care is evil, and the ACA just served to further entrench this evil in our lives. It did some marginal good, and I'm certainly not advocating for its repeal in favor of 'concepts of a plan'. But 75%? I can't get on board with that.

Fair enough. The point is we achieved things we wouldn't have without it.
