I seem to recall Nixon having a big hand in this.

Romney introduced an early version of the ACA while serving as Governor of Massachusetts, and it eventually spread to New Hampshire through Minuteman Health. But it has become a nightmare for medical billing, and more often than not your doctor is remote and you end up seeing a Physician Assistant who is afraid of losing their job and tends to err on the side of caution at your expense. On the other hand, Medicare eliminates much of the paperwork tied to insurers. I suppose I can speak with some authority, as my mother spent twenty years in healthcare administration with Siemens and knows the system inside and out.

I used to get a kick out of the tea baggers waving their signs that read “Keep your government hands off my healthcare,” along with quips about “Death panels,” when that is essentially what private insurers are, middlemen and death panels, skimming twenty percent off the top while creating an unnecessary bureaucracy to justify their existence.

And Keowee is simply a contrarian, he has no guiding principles other than to argue against any form of progress. We could do the exact opposite of what he claims to support and life would improve for everyone. It almost seems as though his life is so miserable that he wants everyone within his catch radius to share in said misery. I imagine he will be a real delight at Thanksgiving.
