      They only had a majority in both houses for 2 years and still managed to get the ACA passed which was pretty significant. Even Trump couldn’t undo it. Also in fairness to Obama he was focused on staving off financial collapse for a good part of his first term.

        The ACA was a Heritage Foundation health care plan that acts as a de facto subsidy for private health insurance. The best we ever get is still conservative.

        im not impressed with them passing a conservative healthcare plan from the 90s that is basically just free money for healthcare companies and still leaves millions of americans without healthcare. the dems didnt even stave off financial collapse they bailed out huge banks and other corporations while doing absolutely nothing for the american people
