Consider that your opinion on what is "universally hated" is mostly shaped by the sources of information that you consume. Yours happens to be wrong. Overall the country views ObamaCare ~50% favorably, with some specific parts close to 90% approval.
> Following Republican efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in the summer of 2017, KFF Health Tracking Polls have found a slight uptick in overall favorability towards the 2010 health care law. The most recent KFF Tracking Poll shows over half of the public (52%) hold favorable opinions of the ACA while about four in ten (41%) hold a negative opinion of the law. [1]

I support the ACA, but when you implement the benefits in a law and repeal or ignore most of the new taxes and mandates, that will happen.
I thought just the individual mandate was struck down by the SCOTUS. What other pieces make up most of the new taxes and mandates that were repealed or ignored?
The nutrition labeling requirements were delayed from 2010 to 2018.
There are many other more technical provisions that have been delayed as well. It is easy to find many relevant sources online, though it's hard to keep them up to date because many delays just continue! https://cgsnet.org/ckfinder/userfiles/files/ACA_Delays_at_a_...
The ACA must have good parts and bad parts because the mandate makes the numbers work. Guaranteed-issue insurance doesn't work if healthy people can opt out (because you can just buy insurance after you get sick which makes the risk-pooling idea of insurance not work).
Well, you can't, because of defined enrolment periods and coverage delay periods, and that it's impossible to tell ahead of time whether given insurance covers a given condition.
In addition, medical insurance makes no sense as a risk-pooling strategy, as everybody consumes some medical care annually, and the average cost of care consumed is greater than the amount most people can pay. There has to be something else going on.
There is, because we live in a finite world. Everything is about trade-offs. In the case of ACA, it’s benefits on one hand, and the taxes (and the mandate) that pay for those benefits on the other hand.

Clearly I was not commenting on ACA but on the Websites people use to Sign up for Government Subsidized Plans under the ACA which have continually been reviewed poorly by the people needing to use them.
