    Dems killed off single-payer years ago. Obamacare was designed to be dogshit under their watch. Sorry friend, we both are in the sufferin’-timeline where the DNC never does anything but crush any chance at progressive policy that could “hurt” their rich donors

      Isn’t Obamacare really Romneycare with Democratic support? They compromised so much to get it through. Manchin and the like, the thorn in the Democratic party. But yeah, Berniecare would be much better, partly because I think he cares a lot more than a lot of politicians.

        If i can find the article all about bullshit the Democrats’ did to the ACA before it got signed I’ll link it. Quite a bit more to it then compromising with Rs, they had a lot of Ds to ‘convince’

      That not entirely accurate. Just a wander through the wiki on the history of the ACA shows what happened, both the efforts and roadblocks, the improvements to what was before, as well as the limited time frame.
