You can remember it how you want. What compromise did Obama offer? If O-Care was simply a rename of RomneyCare, it would have been 100 percent supported by Republicans. As for Obama and compromise, he didn’t get along with members of his own party.
Obama’s version of a compromise was him making demands and feeling entitled for everyone to go along without resistance.
Um, actually, Democrats wanted single payer like every other civilized country has. Instead, we got RomneyCare national. We didn't get a Medicare Buy in for those over 55, and we didn't get a public option, both of which would have alleviated many of the O-care problems.
Part of the problem was Joe Leiberman (D-Israel) resisting even these common sense measures... but what Obama should have done is just deploy the nuclear option.
