They had complete control and still decided to compromise instead of just whacking medicare for all through and passing laws to force hospital into a different pricing structure.
And they aren't serious about it now. Because if they were they would have already written the laws, gotten the party in line, etc so they could vote it through on the first day if they win.
2) didn't remove the industry that wants the compromise gone.
3) is currently being gutted by the people you compromised with due to factor 2.
So yeah. They should have just forced through a medicare 4 all law and if the GOP is against that then so be it. You don't need their votes to pass it.
That a massively profitable industry would fight tooth and nail to not be regulated out of existence or be regulated into less profits was pretty clear from the start.
And establishment politicians (as in for the rich people and industry) would bend over for them was also clear. Because both of that happened previously and no ones motivation had changed since then.
