He had a filibuster proof majority for a total of 4 months and passed one of the largest healthcare reforms ever, with the GOP trying to sabotage literally everything along the way. I wish they would’ve taken a bat to Lieberman’s knees to get the public option in, but I don’t know how anyone could consider Obama’s efforts half assed.
Giving insurance companies a seat at the table when making the bills seems pretty half assed to me, but I’m not an American. Maybe your healthcare system is secretly awesome.
Yeah it’s a shit system. I’m well aware of that. No one with a functioning brain thinks we have a good system.
Everything stems from our inability to keep money out of politics. They lobby with billions of dollars in bribes. They own legislators. You can literally buy votes in Congress for under $10k. Even if you don’t give them a seat at the table, they’re at the table. I’d rather we deal with their bullshit face to face rather than through shadow campaigns of influence.
Well the dems keep moving to the right in lock step with the repubs so I don’t hold them much less accountable. The issue I have is the dems should know better. That’s what makes me so angry at them.
Obama had one I thought and he still half assed health care.

Was certainly not half assed.
