an excerpt, especially important for those who thought everything was just fine with our system before:

CHART 2: How bad it was before Obamacare

We may need a reminder of how disastrous our health insurance system was before Congress passed Obamacare. Just one way of looking at this is that health care spending as a percent of family income was already an astronomical 19% in 2009 but was projected to be 30% by 2019 and 48% by 2029 — unless something was done.

those are certainly unsustainable.
now, i know some are anti-aca, because they think they don't want to subsidize other peoples health care, while ignoring the fact that we've been subsidizing it for years already.
i don't like the aca because i think the whole thing could have been fixed in a much easier way, without all the involvement of so many agencies, and without all the various and sundry components.
however, something had to be done. it has been done. now we'll see how it goes.
another thing i'd recommend-allowing insurers across state lines. it's done with other lines of insurance, it should be for health as well.
