So please answer my question.

What makes you think the president we elected wanted to do the right thing?

What legislative votes would he have lost if he had tried to put single-payer through?

Corporate welfare for the insurance industry is not a stepping stone in the direction of universal healthcare.
gov isnt black and white. The president isnt king, they got thru what they could get thru. Governing isnt ez as pundits and useless congressman state, everything done has a ripple effect. And the way our gov is setup, one senator can locked everything up.
