Obama wanted to make   healthcare obtainable to everyone.

His thought   process in this was more people will be in the marketplace, making more money   for insurance providers, and this will ultimate drive down the cost of   insurance. He made money available to those who needed assistance with buying   insurance

Bush was in an economic   downfall. He was trying to help provide affordable healthcare to those who   needed it, but the money was not there to fulfill all his goals. He cut cost   to two of the most important insurance providers to Americans.
