I have no idea, he promised and I think news outlets like Fox really pushed that the GOP had no power and that let people think they we're not being represented in the government, a really really big mistake on Obama's behalf

There has been a couple things that the GOP has pushed and the left has completely ignored. Tort reform, this will drop the cost of insurance, I talked to my doctor about this, it's something that really needs to be in there. and cross state line insurance. Why is the left against this, it makes sense. With tort reform, they can run themselves, the health-care itself runs great, it's the INSURANCE and COST.
I think the 2000+ page bill the dems were pushing scared people because no one really knew whats in it and with the history of our government, you knew that it was loaded with pork.
Also, government control, Why? ever been in a VA hospital, it's fucking scary, good movie to watch is Article 99. They have gotten better, but the government doesn't need to run health-care.
People aren't happy with the rubber stamp as you call it that the dems were putting on health-care and they took away that power from them.
This is not about Bush, it's bout whats going on right now
