He had complete control of Congress for 2 years, and could have given us universal healthcare. Instead, he gave us the ACA and only made the existing system that much more complicated.

if republicans want 50 bucks they ask for 100 so they can negotiate down to 70 at most.

if obama wants 50 bucks he asks for 20 in hopes it'll make republicans more likely to accept, then lets republicans negotiate it down to 5.
