    Obama was weak. Biden was weak.

    You’re making it pretty obvious that you paid absolutely no attention to either of these president’s accomplishments.

    One of them gave me affordable healthcare when I was young and broke, for starters.

      They had control of the house, senate and presidency and backed away from passing a single payer system. They chose, instead, to simply provide government subsidies to insurance companies.

      They had the opportunity, and the power, to provide universal healthcare like ever other Western Democracy and they chose to gift health insurance company billions without any meaningful change to the system.

      I’m glad you got healthcare, everyone should have healthcare. Everyone could have had healthcare, but they were weak.
