I believe some dems may have had hope and believed it would be a good social program, but it seems to have been a carefully constructed legislation that wasn't produced with the intentions of success. The two main characteristics appear to be that it will be a tax bill that can be directed toward or away from any particular group of people and that it is open legislation that can be controlled by the Secretary of HHS. The stated goal to extend coverage to the uninsured was a red herring. All the uncovered could have been given coverage for much less money. The purpose was to control people. For Obama the purpose was to rank him as a great president in the likes of FDR, who they have elevated to the status of greatness. I do agree with you that liberals have magical thinking. I have noticed that at all levels of government. Their leaders change a name or description of something, a program, and "poof" it is now successful. They tell their voter cattle that is now successful and they agree. They take a successful unit, department, agency etc and remove the administrator, replace him/her with an idiot "friend" and they believe it will remain successful. It happens from the top all the way down to ward level politicians. Every election is a feast in which the only thing left of the turkey is the bones. Hell, that's how they put together Obamacare to begin with. Instead of logic and reasoning they used "hope".
