Discuss the development and implementation of the Affordable Care Act and criticize the role of the Republican party in its adoption and success.
When Hillary Clinton was working to devise a healthcare program at the beginning of the Clinton  Presidency, she encountered fierce Republican opposition. (Imagine that.) Well, to counter her efforts and sideline her, the Heritage Foundation developed a Republican healthcare program. This program was instituted and used in Massachusetts by Mitt Romney very successfully when he was Governor there from 2003 - 2007. President Obama adopted this tried and tested healthcare program, devised by Republicans, for the good of the whole country. This is the ACA. Because Obama adopted it, Republicans saddled it with burdensome amendments to try and make it fail. ...stupid obstreperous, obstructive, contrary, treasonous Republicans. Fix this program. Get the deadwood insurance companies out of it. Bring costs and charges into line. Make it work like it did in Massachusetts.
