The ACA is good because it banned several horrible things, but it could be better.(lemmy.world)

Yeah but people like you talk about it in a way that misses the important point fucking entirely. The ACA is the best the Republicunt party would let Obama get away with at the time, and they fought like hell against it.

Though the Republican party does seem to be getting away with a fucking lot these days…

That’s now what I remember, though. I remember the Dems barely even trying to get universal healthcare. They quickly threw in the towel, because (in my opinion) they wanted to appease their funders.

Then you are remembering incorrectly. I turned 18 the year Obama was elected. I was super dialed in and remember this process very clearly.
