@db2 @frisbird well at least he made an effort to make healthcare slightly more affordable if not actually affordable.

    He had the trifecta and the best they could do was continue expanding the profits of the insurance companies. They could have done literally anything else and it would have been better but they fundamentally believe in the markets, they believe everyone should work, they believe benefits should be means tested and they believe that only compliant people should be given any benefits, and that anyone getting benefits should be in full poverty.

    @frisbird still better than "a concept of a plan." The insurance industry is criminal.

    What? Again, the ACA made the insurance industry HUGE profit increases. It was essentially a custom crafter byzantine program that was designed to enrich them with some scraps thrown to the people to make them OK with it. Obama ALSO bailed out all the big banks during the GFC and let the masses rot.
