Why didn't Obama and the Democrats Just Go for Single Payor

ACA is the Pub plan that will be like HOLLAND'S AND SWITZ'S IN THE END- VERY CAPITALIST, AND WILL BE JUST FINE, AND WORKED ON FOREVER. sAVAGE CAPITALISM DOESN'T WORK, ESPECIALLY IN HEALTH CARE...If the new bs GOP wasn't mindless, many Pubs would have voted for it...

If any those "sentences" made sense on their own, it might be worth trying to figure out how they're supposed to fit together...

Not only makes sense, but la verite toute nue....sorry about the caps...

not one single republican voted for the ACA.....but here you have a Dimwit claiming the "ACA is the Pub plan"...another stellar example of the idiotic mentally deranged twisted mentality of the Left.......

From ALL the research one can do, a plan VERY similar to the ACA was generated by a majority of Republicans in 1993. Thus plan was supported by 2 Democrats as well. It was a very similar plan to the ACA, and was referred to as the "Health Equity and Access Reform Today" (spelling H-E-A-R-T).

So while the ACA is not an exact copy, the basic idea, almost 20 years in advance of the ACA, was in fact a Republican plan. During the bickering that went on before the passage of the ACA, I heard President Obama himself stating this fact, as part of his argument before Congress before the voting was begun.

So what? Let's say it is a "Republican" plan. Why did Democrats implement a Republican plan? If we're going to get the same shit no matter who we elect, why bother voting?
