Tens of millions of Americans are set to see their health insurance costs soar when subsidies under the Affordable Care Act expire at the end of this year. Health insurance premiums are expected to more than double or even triple for some 20 million people, pricing many out of healthcare coverage entirely. “We’ve done nothing as a country to control healthcare costs,” says Elisabeth Benjamin, vice president of health initiatives at the Community Service Society of New York and member of New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She discusses how premiums will work, how to seek help, what to watch for in alternative plans, and more.

I disagree. I dealt with it before aca and aca was a huge improvement. I do agree that it would have been even better if we truly sorted it into a working system but your line of argument is the type of thing I see conservatives bring up to get rid of it with no intention of doing fixes just going back to the way it used to be. We should 100% be doing single payer universal healthcare but the aca half a loaf was better than the no loaf that preceded it.
