other Americans concerned about healthcare for us all did. plus many other countries have good healthcare for all their citizens. Some probably came from that work.

Not sure because Romney got rid of ALL his state computer records but his 'romneycare' policy probably had parts taken from Clinton work too.

Or maybe insurance lobbyists did some of the work so they could be close to some of the profits.

Have you checked the White House website? If you go back to the first days of 'Obama care' I bet records are there. just search "Affordable Health Care Act" and you can see and read the act.
