> Thanks, Obama.

Yes, thanks for getting the only legislation passed in the past 30+ years that expanded access to healthcare.

FYI, ACA is what made it possible for people to even purchase healthcare coverage without an employer. And also, taxpayer funded healthcare (“public option”) was preferred by the Obama administration, but had to be whittled down to meet the compromises needed since there was basically zero support from across the aisle.

The tax benefits of health coverage via employers is a separate matter, and while it should have been addressed, I am not surprised nor would I blame Obama for that, since it was already hard enough to get what we currently have passed.
