Did John Roberts Give Mitt Romney A Gift?

If not a victory if by victory you mean affordable quality medical care for everyone; ACA doesn't do it.  ACA wasn't intended to do it.  ACA was intended to prevent it.  Because if affordable quality medical care for everyone is what you're after, the only way to get it is single payer.  ACA was intended to continue the insurance and pharmaceutical industries profit-making.  

Early in the healthcare legislation process, Obama declared that he wouldn't sign any legislation that didn't include a public option, but he did.  Instead of working to get a real healthcare reform bill through, Obama worked overtime to make sure that there would be no real reform -- Just a massive corporate giveaway with no cost controls and no universal coverage.   

The week before and the week after the healthcare bill (or, more accurately, 'The Insurance and Pharmaceutical Industries Windfall Act') passed in the Senate was the one and only time a public option had any chance of happening until another generation passes.

A group of senators had mobilized behind it since the bill had to be passed through reconciliation anyway, & there was no way that Democrats weren't going to get enough of its members to vote against it just because it had a PublicOption in it.  Obama nixxed it.  What was the reason? 

"If the Senate did that, the bill would have to go back to the House for a vote and there's no time!"

After the (allegedly) pro-PublicOption senators accepted that excuse and stood down, Republicans discovered two flaws with the bill requiring it's return to the House anyway. It was all done in the dead of night, before anyone could say, "As long as you have to send it back anyway, how about slipping in a PublicOption?"

The Obama-Biden administration will do everything within its power to prevent a public option, public healthcare, and affordable, quality medical treatment for everyone as long as it retains the WhiteHouse, because that was the deal that was made.
