In the 2008 campaign Democrats (was it Obama?) also promised that they would give all Americans the same healthcare plan that congress and the senate have.
But that is another promise that has fallen into the memory hole.
Candidate Obama on September 20, 2008 at Bethune-Cookman University:
“Change means keeping the promise of affordable, accessible health care for every single American. Under my plan, if you have health insurance, nothing changes for you, except that my plan will lower your health care costs. If you don’t, you’ll be able to get the same kind of coverage that members of Congress give themselves.”
