The ACA specifically prevented socialized medicine, as a hand out to insurance companies. In a lot of ways, it was the best possible deal for insurance companies. It essentially wrote into law that they must exist. If not for the ACA, we wouldn't all be paying thousands to insurance companies because they'd have been made illegal for all serious illnesses/injuries.
