Which is why it's not an accomplishment for dems. Even with that brief super majority the best they could do is copy republicans plans. Which is also why the GOP can't make any legislation to replace it as it's already their plan.

Which then gets back to the point of the post

That is so wrong it is astounding. If the ACA is the GOP plan, why did they try and repeal it over 70 times?

The Republican plan is for the poor to die because they believe in social eugenics.

It's literally Romneycare with a few minor tweaks.

They keep trying because they want to break the government and kill people.

And Romneycare was basically put together by Massachusetts Democrats. Romney just signed it.

Romneycare was also based on the heritage foundation plan for insurance. So again it's still the dems only implementing a republican plan.

Also Romney didn't sign it which is one reason it's hilarious it got his name and he's proud of it.

That is a myth that originated from the Michael Moore movie Sicko. It's not actually true, but people keep repeating it like it is.

Obama told host Matt Lauer that "when you actually look at the bill itself, it incorporates all sorts of Republican ideas. I mean a lot of commentators have said this is sort of similar to the bill that Mitt Romney, the Republican governor and now presidential candidate, passed in Massachusetts. A lot of the ideas in terms of the exchange, just being able to pool and improve the purchasing power of individuals in the insurance market, that originated from the Heritage Foundation. ..."

It's not a myth but sure keep saying it ignoring all the facts in front of you
