Most GOP dupes believe he had 2 years. He actually had 35 days in session and in the middle of a epic corrupt GOP economic meltdown. After that, the usual story The GOP has obstructed everything Democrats want since LBJ for Christ's sake..... All the GOP cares about is tax cuts for the rich and cuts in services for everyone else and they can use their crap reconciliation rule for that period . The GOP is a scum swamp. Only their garbage propaganda world makes this possible.....When the Ds had the votes, they complied with Corporate America and did dipshit.The Democrats no longer had 60 votes in the Senate where that's why they had to use reconciliation for a tiny part of it. They had to go with the Senate version before the usual negotiations and compromises. And Lieberman would not accept anything more than they got. It passed by the skin of its teeth and we're damn lucky. Then McCain voted to save it. Damn Republicans and their propaganda.....Of course it was designed as passed to cover everyone. It was a mandate to buy insurance and there was Medicaid for everyone under a certain income. GOP sabotaged that and that.Welcome to 2010. Of course it doesn't cover everyone. It wasn't designed to. It was designed to help the Insurance and Pharmaceutical companies.
But did you realize your info is from 6 years ago?
No they didn't. The D's had 60 votes. They could have done the right thing. They didn't.
The second they lost the votes, they started blaming everything on the Rs.
