The ACA requires insurance companies to use 85% of premiums actually providing healthcare.
The same people against ACA are usually the ones who want to get rid of Social Security and Medicare. Are you able to pay for the care of all of your elderly or disabled relatives on top of your entire family's?

sounds great in theory, but I wouldn't count on that.... just look at social security... there are talks every year that SS is going bankrupt, talks about cutting benefits, talks about completely eliminating SS benefits in some cases ("means testing"), etc...
healthcare will play out exactly the same, I will subsidize others now, but when it comes for next generation to subsidize my healthcare I'll probably get fucked just like I will get fucked with SS...
