To say the Repubs sabotaged the ACA or in anyway are responsible for it's failure is ridiculous. They tried, don't get me wrong, but they did nothing to undermine it without Obama's approval cuz he could've vetoed anything once it got to his desk
Many red states refused the funding for the program provided by the federal government. Lack of those funds drove up costs and made it too expensive for many people. They wanted to see him fail so badly that they intentionally made it harder for people in their own states to benefit from the healthcare being offered. It just goes to show that in the end they don't give a damn about the people.
HC costs were going up bigly anyway regardless of whether a state refused funding or not, those states didn't want to abide by Washington's dictates for what they had to do to participate AND how much of a burden the program would be down the road. The truth is that the ACA was a shithole program largely written by the insurance companies to get their buyin; it was doomed to failure before it ever got off the ground. It really is pathetic how the Left cannot accept responsibility for their own mistakes.
