    The healthcare bill written by Republican Mitt Romney that didn’t have universal healthcare and ended up being a handout to health insurance companies? That bill?

      Were you not following the back and forth fight that went on back then for him to try to get anything through? Yeah it’s shit but it’s a lot better than the nothing there was. It was progress and if this country had actual adults in it instead of a bunch of emotional children and corrupt politicians then things could continue to progress.

        The person you are responding to was probably still breast feeding during Obama’s presidency. So they’re likely completely unaware that before Obamacare millions of people just didn’t have healthcare and that Obama had to fight like hell with Republicans just to get it done.
