    While graphs can help tell a story, they aren’t really statistical proof. Especially because Healthcare is a complicated field with a lot of factors that could impact overall outcomes.

    You are making a claim, you need to provide that proof. I am saying that a cursory glance at the data does not support your claim in the slightest and setting a very low bar for any kind of evidence.

    So again, by what fucking metrics? While a formal statistical analysis of aggregate health factors would be nice, I’m asking for any evidence for that claim.

    Some of the major things that ACA did was___

    I am well aware of what the ACA did, and would argue that coupling healthcare even more strongly to a parasitic insurance industry has worsened health care outcomes. However, I can’t really say that with much confidence because there’s not a lot of evidence for it.

    What i can say with certainly is healthcare outcomes have significantly worsened since the passing of the ACA.

    Intuition is not reality.

    I would largely blame that on Republicans

    Sure, but I also lay equal blame on Democrats who repeatedly waste time trying to defend the ACA rather than pushing policy that actually tries to improve things.
