To your point, what has the Obama administration done when it comes to these issues while it has had power, especially considering the pretty strong mandate he had with control of both houses and a super majority in the Senate. The important thing is what happens when a party actually gets into government....
- infinite8s 11y agoHe used up most of his mandate pushing through health care reform.
- ZoeZoeBee 11y agoIf you call a bill with all of the benefits up front and the costs hidden over years of implementation, bundled with the final takeover of student loans to help finance this, "reform". Then I wish he world have actually spent the capital you speak of on something that was less insurance company hand-out and wealth redistribution plan than it is healthcare reform
- protomyth 11y agoI often wonder if a much simpler bill that proposed a national catastrophic insurance program where the Feds pay 100% over $50,000 for a health incident would have been cheaper and tipped the actuarial tables to push insurance rates down?
- th0waway 11y agocouple that with reform in health-care billing and practice of medicine and I think we would have had a winner.
- th0waway 11y agoa bill that couldn't be read before it was passed... yeah, stellar work there
