your argument is that costs have increased. this wasn't the argument behind implementing the ACA
the argument, primarily, was "23 million uninsured people" and the ACA itself really doesn't do anything to address costs
Maybe, but you can't take one without the other. Medical costs in the 21st century have ballooned. Going back to the "90's system" without going back to 90's tech is attempting to take the best of both worlds. It would be like saying, why cant we have the same gas price they had in the 1920's with the same cars with good gas mileage today?
Fact is, you could go back I guess. But it wouldn't be like what you remember.

but nothing about the old system really changes the cost issue, just like how the ACA really didn't address it, either
the costs will be the same. the only thing the ACA did was reshuffle how the costs were paid. if we went back to the "old system", it would just redistribute those costs again. your argument just doesn't make sense
