I don't get why you have to always make this some tit-for-tat bullshit. As if the GOP's been leading the health care reform debate and were stymied at every turn by those evil Democrats. You don't have to be partisan all the time. Criticize the dems all you want but you're barking up the wrong tree trying to blame them for not having comprehensive health care reform.
Is it your position the Democrats have delivered comprehensive healthcare reform? Because I'm pretty sure that we had an uninsured population of 50 million in 2008, and that 6 million people got cancelled policies, and that 7 million people added a plan to their shopping cart on healthcare.gov. Meanwhile I don't think quality of care has increased, wait times or ease of access have not gotten better, insurance rates have not gone down, nor has medical cost inflation (the true actual disease from which all the other symptoms arise) abated.

So after spending a trillion we have a net gain of 1 million insured people, why didn't we just write all of them a check? Would have been simpler.

Our country does really need comprehensive healthcare reform. I hope one day we get it, it hasn't happened yet.
