It didn't really replace anything. It was an attempt to build a useful and beneficial system that would support generations moving forward into the future.

But instead it was mashed to support the current generation by keeping a beneficial and useful healthcare system in the future.

People had voted for and candidates had run on healthcare reform and the head of the DNC was adamant about the Public Option as a minimum. Obama fired him once he was elected.

It wasn't the people being demanding and impatient. It was the panicking oligarchy buying the government back from enacting the will of the people.

He was replaced with Tim Kaine.
