Meanwhile I don't think quality of care has increased, wait times or ease of access have not gotten better, insurance rates have not gone down, nor has medical cost inflation (the true actual disease from which all the other symptoms arise) abated.
So after spending a trillion we have a net gain of 1 million insured people, why didn't we just write all of them a check? Would have been simpler.
Our country does really need comprehensive healthcare reform. I hope one day we get it, it hasn't happened yet.
