This sort of nihilism is childish. You may not get everything you want from your government but jumping from that to "it's a sham" is absurd.

If McCain had won in 2008 would the US have passed national health care reform?

We're not nihilists. We see a political process that is broken and throws some peanuts our way to keep the paroles happy. But if you're a potential donor like Lockheed Martin you bill the gov't for a flightless bird

The ACA is less than peanuts, since you have to buy the insurance yourself!
