No, Obamacare was Romneycare. Obama promised a public option and failed to deliver despite a majority in the House and Senate.

This is true.

He didn't get everything he and his team asked for - including a public option - but that's normal for such a groundbreaking process. Yes, there were elements in the bill one can compare with Romneycare, but that was also a practical step in the process - to develop a plan that had already been developed. The result however was a different, national plan. And the problems with some of the Democrats at that time is that they could be bought, and some of them were thus voted out of office. Some are still in office, and should be voted out in 2 years.
