It took more than that.

6) [STRIKE] It passed in Congress.[/STRIKE] Congress was bribed.
7) Congress was routed in the next election.
On just about every single piece of legislation they pass.
Congress often gets routed in mid-term elections.
Can you think of any legislation in our lifetimes where something as obscure as congressional bribes actually ended up with multiple well-known names?
It's funny you mention Koch and not Soros. Not surprising though.
I don't have the time to correlate every Congressional vote with the campaign "donations" of each member of Congress, but I'd say there's a very high degree of correlation. The Kochs are spending hundreds of millions this cycle, and you damn well know they want a ROI on that money.
BTW, it's called "dark money" for a reason. No one, no matter how determined, can follow that trail....
My healthcare has gotten worse (I now have to beg for referrals for regular stuff) but its more expensive. The monthly base fees are up and my co-pay went from $20 to $81.
I agree that the ACA was not about affordable healthcare, it's about the President becoming King. Through our health needs, we are being controlled.
