>> why don't you explain the clearer and more dramatic drop between the mid 2013 18% and the 12.9 we find today? If not ACA, then what?

I have not tried to attribute it to anything other than the ACA.

But I have pointed out that the uninsured rate would NEVER have been 18% in the first place had it not been for the ACA.

And I have pointed out that the real drop is substantially less than (18.0-12.9), since the 18% level is a product of the ACA itself.

We have not come close to getting value for the ACA. You don't spent a trillion dollars or more over 10 years to get a two or three point drop in the level of uninsured, leaving 13%.
