Seen that way by "who" in the healthcare world?


Large hospital systems, the big 5 insurers, and recipients of the ACA's welfare. All very powerful political groups.

Exactly (I know you meant welfare here as a pejorative but it shouldn't be). Past attempts at healthcare reform failed because these stakeholders couldn't be persuaded (e.g. Clinton's single payer would've put commercial health insurance out of business). You can add the American people to that list now since approval now is >50% for the ACA.
