ACA addresses healthcare INSURANCE costs, not actual healthcare costs.
- lotsofpulp 10y agoSince the probability that a person will need healthcare and thus utilize their health insurance, is basically 100%, increasing healthcare costs will necessitate increasing health insurance costs. ACA was simply a way to get healthcare costs to be spread out among more people by forcing them into the insurance pool, which was more politically viable than the option where all taxpayers pay for each other's healthcare (taxpayer funded healthcare).

- JamesBarney 10y agoThe majority of the ACA addresses healthcare insurance costs. But the ACA is a very large piece of legislation and some pieces were intended to reduce healthcare costs.
- shard972 10y agoThen they should have called it the Affordable insurance act.
