there are actually a ton of winners under ACA

You are greatly exaggerating. Patients with pre-existing conditions are winners, kids under 26 are winners, and the highest utilizers under the poverty line are winners.

The younger, healthier below poverty are now paying for a product they didn't previously desire. The middle class young and healthy are getting screwed like no one else. And the adult middle class is now paying more toward the cost of care than at any point in their lifetime.

You could scrap the entire damn thing with the exception of the "no denial for pre-existing conditions" and realize across the board improvement in every category but overall national coverage. I realize that is the "end all, be all" (i.e. access) according to certain people, but it's being gained at the expense of improved cost and lower quality. ANd the people actually paying for it think that's a flawed ideology.
