This is one of those cases where Obama tried to play his so-called three-dimensional chess, and it didn’t work out. He thought if he adopted the Republican health care plan, they would get on board. Of course, he didn’t understand at the time; they were going to be against anything he purposed.

As I mentioned, In conservative Alaska, Republicans not only voted for it, they bailed it out to the tune of 55 million dollars per year.
