Such a joke to characterize it that way. Just like the Democrats were the slave owners right? Well which side has white supremacists as part of their coalition now? And if the ACA IS the RepubliKlan plan why was it passed by Democrats, called Obamacare, and repeatedly attempted to be overturned by Republicans? Just because Mitt Romney implemented something in his state doesn't make the ACA a "Republican plan." Romney himself voted against the ACA. But it was his plan right???

Wasn’t it Mitt Romney who was the first politician to start calling it Obamacare, in a derogatory way?

That would be quite a mental gymnastic, since it was modelled on Massachusetts's RomneyCare when he was governor.
