Oh, fuck off. 

Feel free to read Biden's plan if you want to know what is in his plan. That said, I'm not sure why you would expect a fundamental rearrangement of the entire healthcare system given that he has been in power for, like, four months...

As for your point about Obamacare, it has always been a terrible point which is poorly supported by evidence. Healthcare premiums rose for some people. They lowered for others. Others who were previously out of the market entirely were able to enter the market. Looking at healthcare spending as a whole however, shows that the explosive growth in healthcare spending that some people claim happened, didn't actually happen. 

Haha, I love your reaction.

I guess his promises and rhetoric along the campaign trail are not important. I mean that's just for votes, right? Biden has already done a lot of damage "progress" in four months. The healthcare issues is surprisingly not a focus in spite of many trillions being spent. I guess the plan is spend many more trillions on healthcare... eventually. And fortunately it will only affect the rich.

Healtcare rose for some and lowered for others. In some circles we call that wealth redistribution. The great thing is it also punished normal working people not making much. But he meant well and lying was just necessary. Either way, the compromise was ultimately shit and that's why people still wanna blow up the entire system.

Again, if you want to see what Biden promised, look at what he said, not what you assume he said.

As for whether "the compromise was shit" with Obamacare, you have still provided no evidence of that. The trajectory of health care spending didn't significantly change from Obamacare, however if you look at the size of the uninsured population, it dropped from about 17% when the healthcare exchanges were opened to about 11% when Trump took office. In other words, the costs were virtually unchanged on the whole, while we were able to ensure about 1/3 of the uninsured population. That seems like a solid "compromise" to me.
