Obama ran on universal healthcare. He won by the biggest margin of any president in years, or since. The voters gave him supermajorities in the House and Senate. Then Democrats pissed it all away by passing a watered-down corporate giveaway of a bill. They didn't even manage to get a public option through, thanks to Joe "I currently reside in literal Hell" Lieberman. Voters then understandably didn't come out to support Democrats in 2010. They betrayed everyone that voted for them in 2008, and then were shocked when they lost big in 2010.
