And @neeratanden of all people knows how tight the webs were tied. CAP, Podestas, ACA...

Wal-Mart funded CAP. Together they endorsed the employer mandate. Podesta Group was W-M’s ACA lobbyists.

And Tony was a major bundled for Obama and all Dems. There’s more. Much more.

Flash back to Martha Coakley’s Jan fundraiser in DC. Lobbyist bundles trying to ensure she won included BIO pres, AHIP’s VP, and lobbyists for every major h/c company.

And of course Planned Parenthood, the beating heart of Dem fundraising, loved Obamacare and profits from it.

There are debates to have on the merits of ACA, but this line—it wasn’t rewarding donors—is just too much.

It's simply not. ACA included a significant tax on every wealthy donor of the Democratic Party and it was passed by Dems. The opposite holds true in GOP today.

And it included massive subsidies/regulatory gifts for many donors. Don’t pretend that doesn’t matter.
