Oh yeah they helped write the bill with other insurance companies.
It was for a quick gains in profits on Wall Street for the health insurance companies with high monthly premiums and deductibles.
The companies brief profits, went from 15 Billion to 35 Billion a year initially. However, with the increase of monthly premiums fees and higher deductibles each new year people signed up but quit paying.
Now we are witnessing the implosion as Obamacare always intended to do. Affordable it was not. It was actually a lot cheaper with the older health care.
This is about single payer/Medicaid nothing more.
