As someone who is constantly working within the boundaries of the ACA, in my opinion, it will be helpful short-term for those that do not have health insurance due to lack of income. In the long-term it has nothing as of now to consider that healthcare costs increase every year and therefore health insurance needs to as well. What good is you insurance going to do you if your premium rate stays stagnant over 5 years but the services you use it to pay for are always going up in price? It may as well be useless at that point. I lean more towards a public option, which still means you have the private alternative for those that can afford it. Then again, the populist collectivist will find something to bitch about that too.
