Yes, but a mandatory single payer system would be even better

They may support the ACA as a stepping stone towards this goal, but ultimately, they would prefer a single-payer system.

Very strongly disagree

No, open the markets so insurers can compete across state lines and reduce costs

Socialists do not support opening the markets for insurers to compete across state lines, as they believe in a more centralized, government-controlled healthcare system. This answer is more in line with free-market capitalism, which is opposed to socialist principles.
