The ACA definitely made a number of improvements but health care still is prohibitively expensive for way too many people. Having private insurance doesn't help much if the deductibles are too much for you to afford. At a minimum, expanded Medicaid/Medicare eligibility is essential. But the Democratic Party should be pushing for at least a public option, if not single payer. Hopefully that will be part of their platform in 2018 and beyond.

I don't think the Dems would even want that. Its not like they're historic rivals of the insurance industry or something.
