You make many hyper partisan accusations as usual. Obamacare has greatly expanded healthcare for our country. And healthcare has always gone up in cost like everything else has. To me the flaw is it doesn’t get rid of insurance companies. We pay extra for middlemen that offer zero value to our healthcare. Republicans now have all the cards. They made tax breaks for the very wealthy a priority but healthcare? They’ve never offered anything that was better. I don’t see them doing it now when they have the power to do so. It’s going to be a problem in the midterms as people are facing skyrocketing costs for their healthcare. And everyone will remember Trump using the shut down to make things even more painful. For democrats it’s true you have a lot of people angry that they backed down but I think you show why it going on would have been worse if they had kept it going into the holidays. Holding your own people hostage was never going to work with a president that doesn’t care or even relishes the harm it does. As it is now voters in red states are paying more for healthcare along with groceries and everything else and the democrats are going to win big.
