Wrong. The main problem with the US system is the outrageous level of corruption and greed being displayed by the Health Industrial Complex of pharma, hospitals, service providers, device makers, and insurance companies. All of them together infiltrate the government and collude to fix prices and line their pockets at the expense of the taxpayer, and at the human cost of literally hundreds of thousands, of not millions of lives.
In advanced Western countries, you see many different configurations for functioning health care systems. Some do insurance based models, others do single payer, others are hybrids. The issue is not about choosing which configuration of system, it is about rooting out the disgusting level of corruption that exists currently in the system.
The ACA did nothing to tackle this underlying issue.
