there's a lot of slack in a lot of publicly funded sectors (from education, defense spending, research to various other social programs), where ACA style laws could help cut out rent-seeking intermediaries/vendors/other-artificial-bottlenecks (for example a pretty large chunk of public spending is going for buildings, their maintenance, transportation, energy costs, and so on, which all are high because of bad/missing/inefficient infrastructure, which is kept in that way because by lobbying and other kinds of selfishness)
but simply increasing the money supply and giving money to people to spend on healthcare will push prices up. (which also immediately means that the money that was just handed over to someone who needed to buy healthcare services gets less of it.)
just like you keep saying botched response... I keep saying botched spending :) yes, both can be true at the same time.
