ACA was designed from the get go to fail and to be hated. Goal was to soften the public up on the idea of single payer as the solution to the problems that the ACA created.

The problem with the plan came when the GOP and Trump went and gutted the penalties for non compliance of the individual mandate. At this point I doubt Biden re-instates it especially with all the hubbub over the vaccine mandate. The optics would be bad bad, especially with the vaccine mandate and the ACA individual mandate disproportionately hurting younger working families.
