obama literally went to kucinich's district to shame him and use his power of the bully pulpit against the public option. he didn't ever use the bully pulpit for the public option.

many people felt betrayed by obamacare since it was a rightwing healthcare bill originating in the heritage foundation and designed to entrench the current healthcare industry. many felt obamacare's campaign included pushing for a public option at the very least and he abandoned it along with many other potential cost controls like drug reimportation or allowing medicare to negotiate.

It's mainly because Obama wanted to make a deal with corrupt big pharma and medical care industries.

Things like getting rid of the medicine import ban threatens their bottom line in a big way.
