It’s a massive transfer of wealth from the poor to the elite.
Reversing protections against predatory banking is another huge one.
ACA helps a shit ton of people. Thank god you didn’t need it, but there are plenty of people that were saved from economic ruin by ACA.

im worried about how much the federal government is taking from me personally, with the threat of incarceration if i don't pay it. i don't like taxes.
lets say i save 1000 next year. (i'm not sure how much if any i will save next year, as i might pop the 50k bubble as a single filer. i should finish 2018 somewhere around 48-54k) but lets say its 1000 i save. lets add in what im saving from not being forced by the government to cover myself with health insurance. that jumps it to around 2600.
two years ago i was making 10 an hour. that is literally 6 and a half weeks of work, in a physically demanding profession. in my limited time on earth, i worked basically an extra 260 hours for the government. NOT including what i don't save that is STILL GETTING TAXED. i'm still working for the government for 25 percent of the time. (pretty sure the tax rate at 50k is 25 right?)
get out of my pockets plz
also the ACA hurt plenty of people too. there is a reason an estimated 13 million people will be dropping the coverage that the government deemed they could afford.
im all for being of a charitable mind and helping those in need. i'm not for the government being in charge of it.
