We had "free market" and it not working is exactly how we got the ACA.
No, lunatics like you who refuse to be fiscally responsible and, on top of that, insist on the government mandating and destroying the free market is how we got the ACA.
Wonder how old are you, roughly and how financially secure you are, get an inheritance?
Older than a tree, but younger than a mountain. I make little to nothing and have no inheritance. I am working my way up, not begging for handouts. My financial security is what I earn through my hard work. People like you who advocate strangling our economy and redistributing my tax dollars to people who refuse to improve their lives to secure their financial independence are in direct contrast to what should actually be done for the benefit of all. Perhaps you should consider what the price and availability of health care would be if the government wasn't bending over insurers and doctors/hospitals (and, frankly, all of us citizens) all of the time.
