Healthcare and pharmaceutical supply are not monopolies in the US. Not even close. So your basic premise is wrong.

As to saying it's costing more people more money. Yes to the more people, it will insure more of the population. It will cost some people more money, but you're forgetting that that money actually pays for something. Coverage of pre-existing conditions, caps on contributions. Things like that.

Also there's a focus on more preventative care, to make sure more money doesn't have to be spent later. I don't know why you're putting health in inverted commas.

EDIT - and leave it out with the "voting for Santa Claus" stuff. It's absolute rubbish and you know it.

In 2012 US voters had a choice between drastically lower taxes and someone who specifically promised to raise income taxes. They chose the latter. They chose to pay more for more services - not for free gifts. A plurality of UK voters in 2010 chose a party that promised austerity. As did German voters last month.

And for heaven's sake, the ACA is not a free gift.
