I agree with all you're saying. Obama's Romneycare was also a huge gift to the insurance companies.

Yeah, we didn't get healthcare, we got a penalty for not being able to afford insurance...

I get people being excited for any progress back then, I was too.

But it's 16 years later and now we want from both parties presenting plans to improving it, to one party trying to burn it down and one insisting asking for progress is worse than burning it down...

People just treat it like a team sport now. If you're not praising their pick, it means you picked the other team.

Meanwhile I'm just out here advocating for the fundamentals.

Like, what did happen to the picks and roll?
