In reply to the discussion: Obama says Sanders' supporters helped undermine Obamacare [View all]JonLP24
(29,322 posts)Sanders proposing that has been a long time goal while this plan was adopted from Republicans who proposed to counter a universal health care type of proposal with the mandate to purchase from private insurance.
Al Gore in a debate said he would like to eventually move to a universal health care type of program but had no plans to do that at the time. I understand something like that is difficult and ACA was the alternative and it isn't like I heard much criticism, it was mainly at the time it was passed 2010 so I don't understand how Sanders' supporters enters into the equation since at the time criticism was independent of Sanders. As far as Sanders I don't understand the problem with what he said because what's wrong with that as a policy goal?
