President Barack Obama, whether wittingly or not, invested his entire political capital in reforming healthcare in America. He gambled and lost. Not because he had nefarious intentions, but because he left the gory details to a corrupt Congress and a shady cadre of lying and conniving technocrats, ending up with something vastly different from what he campaigned on.
From everything I’m reading now, President-elect Donald Trump is about to walk in Mr. Obama’s footsteps, and if he does, the results will be unsurprisingly identical.
