Re: ACA success
Increasing medicare to all ages would guarantee 100% coverage.
​
And we can get on that train in a couple more generations or so. The idea that by then the ACA will have become the firm conservative position to be defended as a god given right is a bit humorously sad.

Re: ACA success -- now medicare transition
No, we need to demand that the age eligibility drop 1 year every year.
​
Demand away. Just remember it took us 50+- years to get from medicare to ACA. Going further will not be any less difficult, nor any less long. That is unless the Dems can break the Rep hold on the house without losing the senate. IMO, even then a gradual move toward universal one-payer medical will not start anytime soon.
​
I think we are into ACA for at least 20+ years unless the Reps sweep the congress and the White House in which case we will be right back to the 1960s.

Re: ACA success -- now medicare transition
Are you and RAZD trying to tell me there is some silver lining to this future before us?
​
Let's hope.
