My post assumes nothing.  My post says the government is EXTREMELY inefficient in doing anything, much less addressing healthcare. 

My post says Obamacare is the biggest failed legislation perpetrated on the American public in this century.

Soon there will be no exchanges and very few people who provide ACA coverage.  I have only read of one company that did not report a multimillion dollar loss and that company says it broke even.  Private companies are not like the feds and can just keep amassing debt, like the US debt of $19 trillion and counting.

For people like Architect's daughter, there should be a way of providing coverage, just not at the expense of every business owner and employee (increased costs via higher premiums, copays, and as SCOTUS indicated taxes - since they deemed ACA a tax).

Archie, based on figures I have seen there are 11.7 million people with ACA plans and 151 million people working.  That is 7.7% of the population with ACA plans and 93% of the working population with some plan or no plan.  100% of the people with a plan that is not ACA have seen their out of pocket costs rise, some more than others; and all of us have seen that passed on to us in the form of higher costs for goods and services.  THERE IS YOUR PROOF!
