So, I don't really understand what the point of replacing Obamacare with this was if they're so similar to each other? Unless it's just to get people distracted by this so they're not focusing on other problems within the regime. However, I can't say that I'm too surprised that they are not so different from each other, because Obamacare was just private insurance companies handling it, instead of single payer like he said he would when they got the White House, House of Representatives and the Senate (spoilers, they ended up having all three from 2009-2011, and they didn't do it). However, as stated in the website, this is still subject to change. |
there were 2 good reasons:
1. the corporatists in the democrats wouldn't have voted for it and it would have died 2. by making it a lot closer to that the Republicans wanted he figured it wouldn't be touched even if Republicans got the WH/Senate back
|
And that's why people shouldn't look to the Democrats for a solution. They are Republicans with different rhetoric.
