Let's ignore one moment the debate over the various forms of universal/single payer/mandated healthcare insurance, which is good, which is bad, and the like.
How can anyone justify the ACA? Insurance companies are a giant hunk of the problem with healthcare in the US. The ACA does nothing to solve the problems that the Insurance Companies helped create and does everything to ensure the problems get worse while rewarding them with many more customers for fucking things up in the first place. It's like hiring someone to babysit one of your kids, they set the kid on fire, so next you start up a daycare for the neighborhood and hire this person to run it. That's the biggest thing that astounds me about the whole debate over the ACA.

Because as of this moment there is no better alternative.
I dont like obamacare, but a large amount of people are insured because of it. Until a better thing is voted in and not some random thing snuck in at the dead of night that no one even read, this is the best we have atm.

Except we won't get anything better. That's like back when the federal income tax was implemented thinking that it would go away in a few years. All we've done is codify the great financial monster's existence.
It's also telling that you say there is no other alternative. There are tons of alternatives, the difference is, those alternatives don't keep money flowing into insurance companies coffers so they aren't even proposed to be considered.
This very fact along with how the GOP refuses to actually repeal the ACA, which make no mistake never was their intention should tell you that ain't no one on any of our sides.
