You're claiming that the Affordable Care Act is not affordable?

Without any supporting evidence, in fact there is evidence to the
contrary.

The ACA stands out as a piece of legislation that raised taxes
sufficient to pay it's costs.  Given the reaction of the economy
in the years following passage, your claim that it is not affordable
is denied by the evidence.

But now we have a new regime and completely unpaid for tax cuts
and spending increases.  I'm afraid we are going to find out
how well that works.
