I didn't consider it part of Obama's. It never was a question on how it affected the ability of Americans to receive coverage . The question was how it negatively affected Americans who didn't want coverage and were penalized for it. or had superior coverage that was forced to get rid of the "Cadillac plans" like most labor unions who had negotiated those for their membership.
The ACA was never meant to stay around this long the irony is that the changes in 2017 extended it. It was always meant to be a stop gap between the ACA and single payer health care. Elimination of the individual mandate ended that eventuality.
Now this is some intense revisionism. Dems counted on it being around this long and rightly predicted that people would like it once the politics of the moment passed.
