decreased the uninsured population by 15-20M.

That just means insurance companies are profiting. There’s no guarantee that people are actually getting health care.

All FQHC administrators reported uninsured patients were more likely to gain coverage from Medicaid than from private health insurance. Insured patients generally experienced an improvement in accessing healthcare services but depended on their plan’s covered services, FQHCs’ capacity to meet demand, and specialist providers’ willingness to accept their coverage type.

So, I guess your argument is that ACA is bad because all it “really” did is enroll poor people in Medicaid? Or that the extent of their insurance coverage depended on the insurance they got?

You’re comparing your idealized plan with what got implemented, rather than what got implemented with what came before.
