As even Obamacares most ardent defenders have said from the start, the law is far from ideal. The architects of reform had to make all sorts of compromises, just to get the law past lobbyists and obstructionist Republicans.
The original compromise, of course, was giving up on much simpler, more comprehensive single-payer system.
And then, after finally enacting the historic legislation in early 2010, they had to spend most of the next three years fighting repeal. In Washington, Republican congressional leadership has repeatedly blocked funding for implementing the law

Can you please point out exactly which votes were instrumental in blocking funding?
Would it be easier to admit that you don't know of any because it has never happened?

The CON$ervoFascist Brotherhood always plays dumb when confronted with the actions of their Reps. From the time they took over in 2011 to today the GOP have promised to defund Obamacare.Obamacare implementation 2013: Busting the myths | New Republic

The only compromises made in this bill were to entice fellow Democrats to vote for it -- not a single Republican crossed the aisle. As Rahm Emmanuel has famously been quoted when asked about working together with the Republicans "Fuck'em, we won the election." So much for the obstructionist Republicans.
Max Baucus's chief health policy counsel, Elizabeth Folwer, is largely credited for writing the bill. Prior to working with Baucus, Folwer was vice President for Public Policy and External Affairs at WellPoint, the nation's largest health insurance provider. After drafting the bill, Folwer returned to the private insurance sector. So much for getting the law past lobbyists -- they wrote it.
Next year the middle class will be faced with paying hundreds, if not thousands, more in healthcare premiums because of this bill. That is the issue. Taxpayers who make a decent income will be penalized for their hard work. The likelihood that affordable quality healthcare will result from any of this is next to none. Lawmakers who voted for this bill, including Baucus, are announcing their retirement from Congress at lightening speed. Is that a coincidence? Hardly.
