I played (well, ran) a few rounds of Blood on the Clocktower the last couple days. I'd thought Secret Hitler was the pinnacle of that genre but boy was I wrong. A meaningful role for everyone and no elimination really steps up Werewolf.

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
