You must have forgotten yours. Nelson was bribed, as was Kucinich. Single payer would have been 'better'. Obamacare has NOTHING to do with 'health'......you just can't bring yourself around to understand that, yet..and that's, too bad.
The provision you speak of, was the enticement to portray benefits for the medical industry....but now as more pages are ADDED after it was passed, that fell through the floor, as well.
This system is so wrought with deception and fraud, that certain parts need to be re-done, from the ground up.
The fact is, WE cannot afford a giant, intrusive government, whose operating costs(including bribes), can be sustained by a shrinking economy, due to the reckless disregard, to the private sector...WHICH PAYS THE BILL!
On the other hand, we also cannot afford reckless, and treasonous behavior of the private global mega-corporations, who use us as where they rent our military might, to accomplish their goals of greed.

As far as the Democrats 'bailing out of Obamacare' I wish they would have displayed more balls when the shitty thing was being passed around!
Yes! We need health care...but THIS bill should have NEVER seen the light of day!
It SUCKS!
..and if this and other administrations had been doing their job, and not accepting payoffs, we would have 'affordable health care'...right from our own pockets!!
