6. The freaking ACA was written by (mostly) right-wing think tanks long it became the ACA

And the RepuQs in Congress at the time got plenty of input, and Democrats acceded to many of their demands with the idea in mind that something approaching a consensus in the drafting would give it better acceptance and longevity.

Then of course voting day came and the slimy RepuQs completely reneged on "consensus" and ALL voted no and then went and cried on Faux Nooz that "Democrats completely shut us out, this terrible legislation is all on them" WAH WAH WAH

The major components of the ACA were part of the GQP's response to "HillaryCare" in 1992. A "free market based" solution, they called it then. It was also a lot of how RomneyCare worked in MA.

So lil' Mikey Johnson can go blow out his ASS with this fucking gaslighting bullshit
