The ACA attempted to cap Insurance profits but it ends up being counterproductive. There are tons of loopholes to turn profits into something else to skirt the limits. Then when those limits are still a problem they just work with the whole corrupt system to raise prices across the board. A procedure that used to cost $1000 would only yield $150 so make the whole thing cost $10,000. Hospital wins. Insurance wins. Regular Americans lose.
Every healthcare debate should be shut down immediately by pointing out every other country does it for half the cost with better results. No matter what the opponent says, the response should just be "every other country does it for half the cost with better results" over and over. 10 years of the media doing its job and every one of us doing our job would get us there. Fox News ditto heads have no counter to it.
