Obama never got close to curing cancer in a figurative sense or in a literal sense. All of his accomplishments were likely good for some other country but not for Americans. Obama made the mistake of trying to circumvent congress and all but one of his "accomplishments" are being undone with a signature.

at least allowed for people like me, at the time, to get health insurance and not die. I'm sure that's not the case for everyone but it at least helped someone. But this is why I don't generally get into politics, nobody is right and then we all end up looking silly defending what we think is right. I'll never learn.

I love how how people think health insurance didn't exist before Obama took office. Your "health insurance that helped you not die" was called the Affordable Care Act, which was an unconstitutional bill/law that was passed in order to fill the pockets government contracted insurance companies - Obama didn't give a shit about your health.
The reason it was unconstitutional was because the bill REQUIRED everyone (over the age of 21 I think) to have health insurance, regardless if you wanted it or not. Obama's law makers knew that American citizens in their 20's and early 30's had no interest in health insurance, which is ALOT of people. So to include these people in their new bill, they implemented a mandate requiring citizens to buy health insurance - or be hit with a Tax penalty every year that you're not. Fun fact: before Trump nixxed the mandate just last November - the tax penalty was almost $700, it was $400 when the law was officially in effect at the beginning of 2012. Basically - you were being fined for not having health insurance regardless if you wanted it or not.
That's like paying Auto insurance when you own a bike...
The Democratic party does not give a SHIT about American people, what can you honestly expect from the government party that fought and voted to KEEP slavery in America.
