I am guessing you are consulting U.S. hospitals and/or doctors. If so you are paid by the U.S. health industry; directly or indirectly. And if my assumptions are correct, your opinion on U.S. healthcare and/or ACA is just a self-serving as a supermarket checkout clerk asking customers for donations towards a food pantry; the money that the supermarket spends on their own products.
