    I think it could not have been any other way and I myself am like “ceos bad”, but that the healthcare execs rejoiced when things went the way of ‘kill all ceos’ instead of ‘reform american healthcare system’ since attainable goal of Universal Healthcare was replaced by something that would encounter widespread resistance.

    No reform for anything is happening under Trump, so calling it “attainable” is inaccurate. It might be popular, but the oligarchy has rotted the Democrats to the point of the Affordable Care Act taking everything they had to pass. It’s why the progressives couldn’t get enough relief for the recession; they spent all their political capital on such a basic measure.
