Doesn't change how good our "health care" is by one bit.
And all the homeless bums I see standing on street corners with their signs? They will never be able to buy health insurance and/or pay the tax that's charged if you don't buy insurance. They will continue to be the drain on emergency rooms (the supposed reasoning behind forcing everyone to buy overpriced health insurance) and keep the hospital system still using that as an excuse as to why they are justified in price gouging.
All a "modern society" needs...is for people to pay their own goddamn bill when they go to the doctor.
Insurance should only be for catastrophic occurrences (car wreck, bad illness requiring hospitalization, etc.).

There is a whole lot more to the ACA than simply ending the drain on emergency rooms and making sure everyone has insurance. In fact, it has already played a role in reducing health care costs overall. There are other ways that it will save more money in the long run (preventative care) as well.
