The ACA limits a small subset of policies...

Its limitations apply to all policies.

But also increases cooperation with millions on newly insured.

Mandating someone buy a policy isn't really cooperation. And newly insured or not, many previous actual and potential ways of cooperating are now locked out by the law.

If things like that were so common, you wouldn't have to go back two years to find one.

I didn't go back at all, that was just a major silly restriction that I remembered. Other restrictions still exist and get added every day. Most of them are more technical, less clearly headline fodder, but the number of controls and restrictions is massive and growing. It gets to the point where the total effect is more than the sum of the parts. People are not just limited from doing what isn't allowed, they are pushed out of areas of activity completely because complying with the laws while operating in certain areas (mostly but not only business) is so complex and costly and risky that many see it as not worth it. Risky because even if you think your complying you could be committing a felony by violating some obscure rule.
