ACA was originally designed by repubs and a few dems. But OBAMA! He touched it and talked it up! It's TAINTED with OBAMA cooties, so kill it kill it kill it. sigh.
That's what really amazes anyone who knows what's really going on.
The basic outline of the ACA was originally created by the Heritage Foundation, now run by Jim DeMint, one of the bugfuck crazy assholes trying to kill it.
It was proposed to Congress by Bob Dole, the Republican leader in the Senate, as an alternative to the health care reforms the Clinton Administration was developing.
It was actually passed in Massachusetts and signed by Mitt Rmoney. The guy who the Republicans nominated for President in 2012.
But it became radical socialism the minute the scary black Muslin Kenyan Nazi Communist N****r endorsed it.
But you know what I think a lot of Republcans are afraid of?
That it'll work.
Their entire scam over the last thirty years has been "Government doesn't work!!!" A government program that has a chance of actually working, of actually making things better for people who aren't rich and white, undercuts the entire message they sell to their base of knuckledragging bigots to keep them voting.
I mean, decades ago, the conservatives were against Medicare and Medicaid. They called it "Communist" and pretty much everything they now use against the ACA. How did that work? Oh yeah, Teabaggers were protesting the ACA with their "Keip ur dam gubmint handz off mi medicaer" signs.
