Socialized healthcare was filibustered by every single republican, and in the 72 days they had supermajority WITH INDEPENDENTS one of which opposed public option, they passed the medicaid expansion which gave healthcare and in some cases dental to tens of millions of people. The time period you're talking about was also the most productive congress on record since the mid 20th century.

Actively impressive how they are so smug and cocksure but constantly wrong on everythig they believe, the neoliberal way.
