    Obama was handed a Democratic supermajority, but the dems dropped the idea of a public option right away.

    The Dems couldn’t hurt their real constituents: the insurance companies. Obamacare was a huge boon to the health insurance industry and their shareholders.

    I remember the details quite vividly, as the medical bankruptcy that destroyed my life was started pre-ACA, but finalized post-ACA.
