Report on NPR this morning making the statements I repeated earlier. I can't find a hard copy of it. Sorry about that. I looked and couldn't find it.
As for whatever "promises made" about the impact of the ACA, those were made under the assumption that the plan would be enacted as designed. Two key features included expanding medicaid to cover those with no resources at all and the establishment of state exchanges. GOP-dominate state govts shut those two down time after time and that led to the overall program not performing as designed. Again the report I heard EARLY this morning indicated that where it was put in place as designed, costs rose at less than they had prior to the ACA, it served to lower the deficit and basically delivered as "promised". GOP did seek to fck it up and they achieved that. Seems to me the result of that is a lose/lose.
