>>Is he a practicing MD? And does he practice in the U.S.?
You have no idea what I do in the US. Clearly.
>>Perhaps you can explain why most surveys of licensed and practicing physicians in the U.S. generally disagree with most aspects of ACA
Sorry but the answer cannot be given as a single-table select and it's no use cherry-picking just the ACA parts- at a minimum you need to review responses re ICD-10 and electronic health records. Also there are less obvious cues. E.g. self-employment by US doctors was 62% in 2008, 49% in 2012 and 35% in 2014. 53% of physicians describe themselves as "employees" in 2014. Why does this matter? Because "employee" doctors no longer have to care about the bureaucratic meanings of change. Prediction: in the next survey, fewer physicians will express strong opinions about the ACA or anything much to do with healthcare bureaucracy at all. They don't need to- the overwhelming reason to become employees was to escape the bureaucracy.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
