Yet, for all the (often dubious) attacks that Clinton loyalists made against Sanders' proposal, they have placed the existing law under virtually no scrutiny. In fact, Clinton and her supporters have issued bold claims that the ACA renders more reform--and even critical discussion--pointless. "We finally have a path to universal health care," Clinton said. "And I don't want us to start over with a contentious debate."
But can the ACA [achieve what it promises]? The unfortunate reality is that Clinton is wrong. The law does not lead to universal health care; it fails to slow costs enough to make it sustainable; and millions of Americans who do have health insurance are nevertheless left underinsured & exposed to financial ruin.
