> Not for the full term, only 2 years, where he got ACA enacted. The US still has about the highest healthcare costs in the world. If that's supposed to be what success looks like, it's not great. > Nobody would pardon Snowden, he ran. That's just an excuse. Demanding that he face a trial is conceding that he would be prosecuted, which only proves that he was right to run. Justice for what he did is a pardon. > ACA was good for millions of people. Republicans are set to erase that. ACA was incremental progress that barely made a dent, and could easily have been a bipartisan bill if bipartisanship was still a thing. Half the reason Republicans are always talking about repealing it is that it was full of their ideas and they want to "repeal and replace" it by making some minor tweaks so they can claim the credit for the modest benefits because neither party can be bothered to address the bigger problems with the US healthcare system. > No, the Democrats do not have an equally long list. The Democrats play coy. When they pass laws to enrich the megacorps or special interests, they tell you they're defending the little guy, as if simply claiming that conveys the right to be indignant if someone wants to subject their proposals to an analysis of qui bono.
