Yeah, no.  The article starts off with the premise that the ACA was the best Democrats could do.

That's not recognizing that Republicans sabotaged the ACA from it's inception right through to it's implementation and beyond.

Without Republicans insisting on many of the worst aspects of the ACA, Democrats could have crafted a much better policy.  

The latent both-siderism in this article is disgustingly disingenuous.

What is clear is that Democrats actually tried to be responsive to people's needs.

As we see from Republican intransigence and outright obstruction, people's needs aren't given any priority.

As we see from TrumpDon'tCare, Republicans couldn't care less about the people's needs.

The worse they made TrumpDon'tCare, the closer it got to Republican passage.

No, it's not that we need to get politics out of healthcare, we need to get some politics out.





The headline should read 'Get Republican Politics Out of HealthCare'.


Democrats have proposed universal healthcare.
