If Obama had not proposed ObamaCare, Republicans would have proposed it. It preserves the current system of private medical care paid by private insurers. A provides a subsidy to low income participants in the insurance market and requires a level of coverage, but otherwise the government is not involved.
I once joked to some folks with the California health insurance regulator that they should offer a low cost plan that only uses therapies that are no longer under patent protection. They laughed and said they considered a plan called yesterday’s care at yesterday’s prices, but concluded it would not get support.
Read Clara Mattei's book: The Capital Order: How Economists Invented Austerity and Paved the Way to Fascism.
When the people are weakened they are easily subjugated.
Thank you for the recommendation!

Republicans have no big beautiful health care plan. They never did. The closest plan came from Mitt Romney but never went anywhere.
I always ask myself why is universal healthcare generally so unpopular among Americans?
