Is this similar to how the ACA was going to make healthcare affordable without making people change their doctors? Because that didn’t happen for most of us.

The aca was gutted by Republicans and democrats owned by the Healthcare corporations.

Look at the original draft vs the final one.

Money is the problem and always was. Take money out of medical care and the problems will shrink.

Is it really taking money or of medical care or aligning the money to incentivize good care? So much money is wasted on onerous insurance overhead and expensive catastrophic care that could be avoided with regular, accessible primary care.
