From what I can see the ONLY thing the ACA does is shift the burden from employers to private citizens. Which btw I think is probably a good thing but does nothing for quality of care. Time will tell. I hope you're right.

Bingo.

ACA will not fix any of that.

This burden the citizen is going to incur is not going to be small.
Nothing has been done to bring down cost. The only thing that will do that is Competition.
