My God Paul you do NOT know American politics. Let me teach you.
Obama needed the house & Senate support to changes after the price gouging happened. At that point it was a Republican controlled Senate & House, aka congress.
The Republican congress wanted Obamacare to fail, they didn't give a shit about the American people (they still dont), so they refused to vote on bill after bill that came in to reform the pricing and cost of drugs. Pharma owns Republican congressmen.
It wasn't within Obama's power alone to control pricing and Republican congress allowed people to get fucked.
