Obama told host Matt Lauer that “when you actually look at the bill itself, it incorporates all sorts of Republican ideas. I mean a lot of commentators have said this is sort of similar to the bill that Mitt Romney, the Republican governor and now presidential candidate, passed in Massachusetts. A lot of the ideas in terms of the exchange, just being able to pool and improve the purchasing power of individuals in the insurance market, that originated from the Heritage Foundation. …”
It’s not a myth but sure keep saying it ignoring all the facts in front of you
You’re proving my point. The idea of pooling the purchasing power of individuals is the only part that came from the Heritage Foundation and it’s not like that is an original or new idea. That is what Social Security is based on. The rest is just Obama trying to give Republicans reasons not to hate the plan.
It’s not at all comparable to Social Security. One is an actual social safety net designed to have the government provide at least a small amount of safety net.
The ACA, Romneycare and the heritage plan are all about not providing any safety for the citizens but ensuring the health insurance industry is taken care of at the expense of the citizens. This is simply because they can’t handle the thought of actually supporting citizens with an actual Healthcare System people can afford.
Hell the Heritage Foundation was proud of Romneycare and only attacked the ACA as it was a win for dems as it was their plan and couldn’t admit the dems did it because of how racist they are.
The idea of pooling the purchasing power of individuals
Except the ACA fails to accomplish anything close to that. It’s not designed for it simply requiring minimum levels of coverage. It isn’t even an option in most states. As others have stated it doesn’t matter if a person is insured if getting treatment still bankrupts them.

You are entitled to this opinion but it doesn’t make it fact.
That is so wrong it is astounding. If the ACA is the GOP plan, why did they try and repeal it over 70 times?
The Republican plan is for the poor to die because they believe in social eugenics.
It’s literally Romneycare with a few minor tweaks.
They keep trying because they want to break the government and kill people.
And Romneycare was basically put together by Massachusetts Democrats. Romney just signed it.
Romneycare was also based on the heritage foundation plan for insurance. So again it’s still the dems only implementing a republican plan.
Also Romney didn’t sign it which is one reason it’s hilarious it got his name and he’s proud of it.
That is a myth that originated from the Michael Moore movie Sicko. It’s not actually true, but people keep repeating it like it is.
