Oh, they’re entirely to blame and I’m just as angry as anyone for them furthering this broken system.
But their choice of doing so was guided by right-wing ideology. The Democratic Party is a center-right party. You might not be able to single out any one party for this problem, but you can certainly indict those who further this kind of thinking in the face of its demonstrable moral and economic failure.

Do away with mandatory coverage, subscription windows, the government run "marketplace" and costs will come down. There's nothing right-wing about any of those features.
