The last month has been a bumpy ride for the ACA. It could have gone better.
In 2010 in the lead up to the ACA passing there were probably 50-60 health care diaries every day. We were anything but united on heath care reform. We were highly skeptical that private insurers were going to "help" implement the ACA. We mourned the loss of the Public Option. Some said we had to pass "something". We still posted recipes in troll diaries back then (maybe we should publish a kos cookbook from those days, but I digress). The fact is that we got the ACA, 2,700 pages that makes 90 changes to health care delivery in the United States. We always knew there would be detractors to this law.
