The Dems need to not let the GOP continue the lie that the ACA was completely partisian. It wasn't.

The Dems tried hard and did accept the GOPs ideas for the ACA in order for the bill to be bipartisian. After having watered down the ACA with the GOPs ideas and amendments, none of the GOP voted for the plan, proving that they had not acted in good faith. Who knows, had the Dems gone back and rid the bill of their compromises, it might have been a better bill, but of course we'll never know. However we shouldn't let them get away with lying about the GOP not having had any input.
