What almost everyone in this country forgets is that Affordable Healthcare Act (ACA0 was a piece of legislative sausage created from the floor sweepings of decades of health insurance industry lobbyists proposals. And directly supervised BY health insurance industry lobbyists, who, as I recall, had an office in the West Wing.
So of course it was designed to benefit the health insurance industry. But they bought into their own propaganda, and believed that only health people were running around without health insurance. Oops.
Do you remember that Republicans almost doubled the number of pages in the bill and then all voted against it?
