Progressives wrote the ACA and it's such a failure that it needs to be subsidized. And since it's being subsidized insurance companies are milking it for all it's worth.

The ACA started as a Republican policy in Romney's time as Gov of Mass, further watered down during it's run through Congress as Republicans kept moving the goalposts and, finally, turning on a policy of their own making solely because they couldn't let Dems have a win on anything popular. It was never meant to be more than a step toward something better, just the best that could be done at the time. If "Progressives" had written the bill, the insurance industry would have been cut out, entirely.
I hate to tell you, but this crap started decades ago when corporations with huge Defense contracts started buying networks. The entire notion of a "liberal media" has been a lie.
