As a matter of fact President Obama did want universal health coverage..but after the insurance companies spent millions to defeat it what we ended up with was lesgislation that was nothing more than bragging rights to say "we passed a healthcare bill" and a subsidy for health insurance campanies.....A big part of the legislation was written by insurance lobbyists.....
