They never really bothered to ask WHY there were 30 million uninsured before, they just assumed all of them were poor people who needed our help.
Never asked if they wanted our help.
Never asked if all of them wanted insurance.
Never asked if there were other reasons, like self insured people who prefer to pay cash.
Never asked if some were uninsurable by any standard.
Never asked everybody else if they were willing to give up their existing plans.

Ironically, it would have been much cheaper to buy 30 million basic health plans than this slow motion train crash they put in place.

It was never really about providing healthcare. It was to compile a central citizen database to use as a tool of power to oppress when needed.
