He took single payer off the table because he didn't want to fight with the Republicans who he knew would never be okay with it. If the Republicans had been willing to go along with single-payer Obama would've put it out there. Obama's strategy was to go after the ACA because that was originally a Republican plan.

Obama felt that if he used the Republican plan then he could get them to go along with him. n the end not one Republican voted for it,

He did not want to fight is the reason he took it off the table and that's why we were upset with him.

You didn't understand that?

"So it isn't that we can't put together affordable systems, it's that the medical industry and big Pharma has so much power that they are able to get the Republicans to do stuff that's in their best interest."
