"It's objectively better than the previous system in every way, even though it is *still* wasteful in favour of the looters, because we couldn't get a *good* system past the obstructionist Republicans. Still, while this isn't good, it's *way* better than what we had before. It's the Republican plan, designed by Republicans, implemented in the test cases by Republicans, and it's crap... but it's better than nothing, and it's the only thing we could get Republicans to agree with."
That's not "a fascist insurance mandate", and defeating "better-but-not-great health care for poor people" is not the most important issue facing your country. Also: Since it's passed? There's been two elections and a metric crapload of legal efforts to repeal it, and every last one of them has resoundingly failed, because while it is crap and not as good as an actual health care plan? The ACA is still way better than what you HAD.
