That is how I'd describe all of them.
Never as bad as some think, never as good as others think.
Usually middle of the road. Some good things, some bad things.
Changing the President doesn't change shit.
The ObamaCare comments are always hilarious though. Most of the shit people complain about was negotiated in order to get it passed.
Most healthcare economists support a single payer system, but all of that death panels bullshit (never mind private insurance has more motivation to convene death panels and declines coverage all day long) will make sure that never, ever happens.
Government healthcare is good enough for our politicians, government employees veterans and senior citizens (95 million; 31% of the population), but not everybody else. People ignore the fact that one of the best perks of a federal job is the healthcare.
People honestly believe politicians didn't have time to read the bill even though Republicans added 160 amendments during the month-long markup period (one of the longest in Congressional history). It's CongressCare as much as it is ObamaCare. Still, people only pay attention to who is running for President.
