No, that's wrong. Please re-evaluate your views.

If the aim of ACA were primarily making it cheaper for those who could pay something, rather than making it available to all, I'd agree the ACA was aimed at the middle class.

It was both.

I don't think HC was the most important domestic policy issue. I think the most important domestic policy issue is the shrinking need for labor going forward and what we're going to do about it which only Trump and Yang have addressed. Trump by attempting to undo globalization and bring back manufacturing jobs, Yang by pushing forward universal basic income. I also have to give a shout-out to Bernie Sanders for at least highlighting that labor market reckoning, but of course, he didn't really have a plan. (Nor does Trump, really, but via his trade war, and now an unwelcome assist from Covid, there is some attempt to re-domesticate jobs that had gone elsewhere.)

In other words, you are ignoring the biggest domestic policy issue of the Obama years because it's not what you want to talk about. Got it.
Reading your posts is like reading a book review that doesn't talk about the book, but is instead a diatribe about how the author should have written about something else.
