I don[‘t expect President Obama to do anything about it (nor should he) but in fairness he really didn’t ‘fight his political ass off for this” as it was passed while he had a majority in both houses.

You don’t have a very good long term memory, do you? The ACA was a six month battle - even with dual majorities - because blue-dog Democrats were afraid of getting ousted by Republicans in 2010, and then there were the asshole pro-lifers who didn’t want to piss off the fetus-obsessed Jesus freaks or Fox News.

It was a significant accomplishment…by far the most significant piece of legislation since the Civil Rights era. Dismissing it as an easy task that didn’t take much effort is disingenuous at best.
