Now that the man I had dinner with is passed out from carb overload, I'm stepping up to my soapbox:
Sorry, but the ACA fixed very little and was never meant to be an endgame. People are still going bankrupt from medical debt. Many people still can't afford to go to the doctor, even with insurance, due to outrageous deductibles.
Medical care is still a privilege in the US and not the right that it should be. We tend to fight for things, make a little progress, then move on.
Keep fighting.

An under appreciated fact, for sure. When the ACA was passed I thought "It's not perfect, but it'll expose problems and show what needs to be worked on." Wow was I naive back then about where things were going.
