What planet are you living on?The Democrats were given complete control of government in 2008 with a mandate to pass single payer health care, and even though the Republicans were an irrelevant and completely powerless minority, they "compromised" down to insurance reform with a public option, and then they "compromised" the public option away, and then they "compromised" down to a few half-assed regulations. Meanwhile, the Republicans agreed to nothing, offered nothing, and refused to budge an inch— the only reason we even got the ACA is because they had no power and were forced to accept whatever the Democrats decided on once they were done "compromising." Witness their 40-odd votes to repeal the ACA now that they took over the House. The ACA is one big compromise between the single-payer system the people wanted and the "don't get sick" system the Republicans wanted, that the Democrats agreed to even though the Republicans had absolutely no leverage. |
