I wonder if Obama had known then what he knows now (namely, that GOP would oppose anything, no matter how conservative it is, in principle), if he would have pursued a different strategy. In their attempts to compromise, we basically got a terrible law that isn't going to help people nearly as much as it might have. Although there were some democrats who needed quite a bit of convincing, too.
