Mitch McConnell, in campaigning for re-election in Kentucky revealed that the ACA was actually a brilliantly executed Republican plan from the outset. “We claim full credit for the ACA and wish people would stop calling it Obamacare. It was a Republican idea and we claim full responsibility for its success.”
"You see," McConnell continued. "The Speaker and I knew that by opposing the ACA from the beginning, the Democrats would work all the harder to insure it's success. If we had supported the plan when it was introduced then the ugly partisanship of the Democrats would have caused the legislation to be killed."
"Make no mistake, Republicans invented most the important parts of the ACA and we set the stage for the success of the program."
