As unfortunate as the healthcare bill was, it was still the biggest step forward on that issue we've had in awhile. But as others have already mentioned, the biggest problem with healthcare in this country is the existence of the insurance companies. Very few in politics have the courage to admit this and our political system is too [inks]ed to actually do anything about it anytime soon.
As for what I view of the debate around the issue? It was one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen. Dominated by astroturf protests and lies perpetuated by people on the Right that only cared about defeating a President, and a media organization that masquerades as "news" that only cares about ratings. Facts went out the window pretty fast.
Exactly my thoughts on the matter.
Me too. It was a big step forward for America but exposed some of the worst traits of our political system. starting from scratch would have produced better results but that was impossible.
