It wasn't within Obama's power alone to control pricing and Republican congress allowed people to get fucked.
Read my last sentence again. I know he was blocked at all turns. The problem is not going to the voters spelling out what's happening. Or the voters too dumb to realise.

Most US politicians are owned. I now expect you to find a couple who are totally self-financed.
