text: I agree that the ACA has deficiencies. In all fairness to Barak Obama however, a jump straight from the previous parlous American health non-system straight to a British type NHS would have been too much for even some Democrats to swallow.
  It would the equivalent of the huge jump from pray-pay-obey to autonomy that most Catholics made after Humanae Vitae.
  At least the ACA was a step in the right direction, even if an inadequate one.
