We have universal health care? News to me. Last I recall, Obama also made the rich richer and promised change only to deliver none.

The Affordable Care Act was not universal health care, and Obama specifically avoided campaigning on that option. Instead we got Romney Care.
Obamacare was certainly a huge disappointment. But he did fight hard for it against very determined obstruction by the right. So while you can say it's not great, at least he did try.

the original act was watered down to its current form by the gop. mitch wouldve blocked everything.
The only reason it isn't universal healthcare is because of Republicans neutering it as much as they possibly could.
