Why did the original ACA bill, which offered a PRIVATE option to compete with insurance companies get revised, removing the public option and center the ACA around for-profit insurance?

As the Electronic Frontier Foundation has stated many times, repealing Section 230 harms all of us people who use the Internet.
If you live and vote in RI, this is the weekend you call Sen Whitehouse’s office and tell him to reverse course
