"I support single payer where the cost is spread according to income."

Absolutely. I don't know enough about the negotiations that went on behind the scenes, but that's the way it should have been done.

I would like to have seen a, perhaps, 2% health care tax on all individual and corporate income. I don't know why that wasn't done. Maybe the word "tax" was just too scary.

"The problem with contracts a la carte is what happens if you get sick of a disease not covered by the contract."

Again I agree. That problem would certainly occur if the ACA had been too flexible. I guess I'm just searching for some middle ground.
