    Because i think you’re the thinking sort, I suggest you Google ‘how Democrats sabotaged Obamacare’ or similar, select a source or sources you trust and see what you take away from your reading.

    Edit: look… I don’t give a single shit about downvotes, what i want is for you to see… Just do it. Don’t be afraid. Do it, and see for yourself

      In my view it was similar to the recent Manchin / Sinema travesty. Zero Republican votes, plus some very cowardly or corrupt “centrist Democrats” that neuter or kill bill. A classic recipe for disappointment.

        You are right. It was eerily similar. There was even a single scapegoat! His name was Ben Nelson, and he was a former insurance executive.

        He joined politics for a few years, vsinglehandedly destroyed the public option, and then quit public service.

        Makes you think, huh?
