I don't know if you were aware of this, but part of its main focus is to lower healthcare costs overall. Why would you think a democratic president's healthcare reform is about making insurance companies richer? That's what a Republican would do. The Cleveland Clinic story is a good example of this, although the conservatives have spun a narrative that says Obamacare killed jobs.
But you seem to think there's no difference between the sides. That seems like more of a mantra you keep repeating to yourself, but it's pretty far from the truth. There's a huge difference in the parties, as evidenced by everything we've been watching unfold in the last couple of years. You have one idealogy based in selfishness, bigotry and lack of compassion -- and then the other side who basically wants the opposite.
You're painting all politicians with a big broad stroke that says they're all crooks. So there's guys on both sides who are in it for the money, but that doesn't make the entire game a fraud. There's people with ideas trying to get things done, and another side who wants to make sure rich people can get all the breaks they can get, and fuck everyone else. They're either going to find a way to be more appealing to the general public, instead of rich people and southern racists -- or die a political death, and always be the whining baby trying to throw a monkey wrench into everything.
