'Should I tell the thirty million people who can't get covered that they're going to have to wait another ten years because we can't get them a public option?' ... All the the great social welfare advances in American history, including Social Security and Medicare, had started out incomplete and had been built upon gradually, over time. By preemptively spinning what could be a monumental, if imperfect, victory into a bitter defeat, the criticism contributed to a long term demoralization of Democratic voters -- otherwise know as the 'What's the point of voting if nothing ever changes?' syndrome -- making it even harder to for us to win elections and move progressive legislature forward in the future. ... For the rest of my presidency the phrase 'public option' became a useful shorthand ... anytime Democratic interest groups complained about us failing to defy political gravity and securing less than 100 percent of whatever they were asking for."

Barack Obama, "A Promised Land"

Gravity is a fact, not having the votes is a fact. Medicare was incremental, progress is incremental, no one thought the ACA was a finished policy. Zero Republican votes, needed sixty filibuster proof votes giving each senator a veto -- was a miracle anything passed. Again, nobody thought it was perfect. Those who want Democrats to lose make up slanders about corruption, Big Insurance, Big Pharma, like the lies that Big Banks were bailed out with taxpayer money.

For anyone unaware of the history of the Democratic Party's health care goals and the Republican Party's near 100% obstruction to Democrats, please research. This is a place for supporters of Democrats and facts are important.
