Thanks for the comment and information. Appreciated.  But what Im saying is that ObamaCare did not even include a public or it would appear non profit option. Yes it might have been difficult to get that thru...but Obama at that point...with public goodwill...a majority of about 59 votes in the Senate...and a Democratic Congress....might have tried a lot harder. Its been said he spent very little time lobbying senators and congress persons.....when some personal lobbying... as Lyndon Johnson...Bill Clinton...and others knew might have worked wonders. 34 Democratic Houe members may have voted against...and few GOP for his proposal....hardly any GOP as i recall...but would have have lost anymore votes if a public or non profit option was provided. As it is...Obama care is like a gaurantee of profits to the private insurance companies whose high costs have made American medicare and health care far more expensive as a share of Gdp than in Canada or elsewhere.
