The dems modeled it on the Massachusets plan that was put in place while Romney was governor. I think he was instrumental in getting passed there.
However, my recollection is that Romney opposed the ACA and that it was not the plan put forward by the R's at the time or even really close to it.
... and I don't JUST blame Obama, I blame everyone who voted for it:

In December 2009, the U.S. Senate voted 60 to 39 for Obamacare. The Washington Post reported “The Senate bill passed without a single GOP vote.”
In March 2010, the U.S. House voted 219 to 212 for Obamacare. 34 House Democrats and all of the House Republicans voted against Obamacare. The NO votes were the only bipartisan votes.

oh, the Democrats.
