On Rob Henderson's stack, he discussed research about how sometimes an apology is the most important response and sometimes doing the actual thing is. It depends on the stakes and whether they're practical or social/moral.
In a broader sense, I'd be more forgiving of politicians' mistakes if they ever (EVER) apologized (in my dictionary, an apology is an unequivocal admission of fault, an expression of remorse for damage done, and a promise not to repeat it).
In the case of the ACA, you have something doing active harm (like, say, vaccine mandates) so the more important thing is stopping the harm.
But it isn't super- simple; you can't always simply repeal legislation, even if you wrote it. We still haven't dismantled Obamacare after all these years since no one will float anything to replace it that isn't seen as career suicide.
(like) completely agree. I had it for one miserable year. Was lied to every step of the way. I will NEVER listen to the State or Blue Cross Blue Shield again.

Which fits this discussion?
Well, that's the question.

Why replace the ACA? Just get rid of it.
they dismantled so much to shoe horn it into the system that something has to be put in to shore up the structure.
All they have to do is get out of the way. A structure will form via the magic of the free market.
Exactly.
If they would do that.
I no longer know the details as they have changed, but just get rid of all of the ACA. It was never even intended to live up to the sales brochure.
