The right and the moderate complain about the approach that was taken, not the goal of having affordable healthcare. The left screwed up by framing the issue completely wrong and having too many X factors that would be "worked out later."

The individual mandate was a conservative idea for like 15 years. This entire health care setup was a conservative plan for ages, just ask mitt Romney. So when the gov tries to do it right with a public option and other shit, the conservatives cut its balls and it ends up like it is now.
So what the liberals got through is some half assed health care reform, though it definitely has some great features like letting kids say on parents insurance longer and people not being able to be denied coverage
