Errr I am pretty sure Obama and democrats have tried to pass this, not stand in the way. It seems you are trying to fault obamacare to not do everything possible and right all wrongs. Just seems like you are stretching awfully far....
All the gfy republicans seem to keep coming out and criticizing obamacare because of its relationship to insurance companies. But the current GOP stance while it involves some changes it is still the status quo of private for profit insurance companies running the show. Liberals simply view obamacare as a stepping stone towards a single payer system. So great, Obamacare isn't the cure all for everything (even though it's brand fucking new and who knows how it will pan out), but it is change and it's just a step towards single payer.
Outrage about costs and insurance companies dropping out of exchanges just helps speed this process up.
Just remember if Hilary runs healthcare was her thing when Clinton was in office and the GOP's response to it was the mandate that conservatives hate so much (lol) and the private insurance etc. that was the basis of obamacare. So if this happens, well, start shorting health insurance companies or something ;)
