This is at least the third repeat of the phrase "architect of Obamacare" Billethkid in post #10, TexaninVA post 16, "this guy essentially wrote the law" in post 20, and of course the name of the thread.
Now what I had believed until you told me that Dr. Emanuel wrote the ACA was that it was written by Sen Baucus's staff. Dr. Emanuel is on record as supporting a private voucher system which altered the role of private insurance certainly not the formulation of the ACA. He also wanted to eliminate the corporate tax deduction for employee health insurance. Dr. Emanuel was an advisor to the White House on health care but if you are familiar with what he wanted in the bill it seems to me he got very little of what he wanted for someone who you label the guy who wrote the law.
