Well, not really a secret, because that Big Pharma, etc. were involved came out back when they were working on various health care reforms in 2009. Of course the insurance company and pharmaceutical lobbyists were part of the healthcare discussions. Progressives were mad, back in 2009, that lobbyists were talking to the White House re: healthcare reforms.
Obamacare is a pure Republican plan, created in the 1990's, as a response alternative to Democratic Clinton attempts for single payer, by the Heritage Foundation in association with the insurance and pharmaceutical companies. In fact, the ideal of the "individual mandate" is a pure insurance company request, to get them more customers.
That's why liberals and progressives think so little of Obamacare. Alot of it still helps insurance companies.
But it's funny to watch the GOP pretend Obamacare has nothing to do with them.
