I agree that getting "skyrocketing medical costs under control" is part of the ACA,
but that was proceeding under Medicare even before the ACA was passed.
My issue was with the premise of the various "observations" in the link.

We are probably in agreement also on "should have been single payer
instead of the hodge-podge we got."

But that was just one of the options being considered, but that obviously
would have been far more of a upheaval in the US economy
than the more limited transformations of the current form of the ACA.
