There were a whole bunch of progressives who were against the ACA
here at DU. Don't buy any revisionist history saying DU was united in this thing. And the public option was shot down without hardly any consideration, and President Obama bragged about it on Fox news. Don't believe me? He has a famous interview talking about it, during this time period. He said "I rejected all kinds of things 'the Left' wanted." This was made in a conversation with the Fox news host about his health care plan.
So, number one, me and a bunch of other good progressives at the time were always against this giveaway to the for-profit insurance companies. And I know this for a fact.

But almost as fast as a ProSense rebuttal, here comes Papa Skinner:

2. You don't need to remind me.
Thankfully, it became law anyway.
