25. He never advocated for it - and he was quite clearly against it in the
early debates. There were other candidates that were for universal health. I see many DUers applying selective memory on this. I've also seen many more DUers using the fact that he never advocated it to shut down conversations "he never said he was for it so shut up" in various posts.

This issue, more than others, illustrates that Obama certainly does not have a hard and fast rule about "bringing all parties to the table". In this case he will only talk with Insurers & unbelievably is leaving doctors and nurses (the very people who provide our medical care) out of the conversation. It's all about money (and campaign donations). Absolutely disgusting.
