Weak argument. You link to a Washington Post column that reflects the viewpoints of a number of individuals including the NCHC. Your link quotes Michael Leavitt* just one of the contributors and a member of the Bush administration.

The NCHC argument does not mention Dems

President and CEO, respectively, National Coalition on Health Care
Major legislative reform involves complicated policy choices and even more complex
politics. Despite multiple obstacles, heroic efforts by congressional leaders and the
administration have kept reform moving forward and positioned for enactment this year
However, we view the failure of lawmakers to effectively address slowing the increase in
health-care costs to all payers -- not just the government -- as the greatest obstacle to
reform. The failure to address systemwide cost containment was avoidable. Lawmakers
only had to follow the Congressional Budget's Office's December road map on how to
generate health-care savings in the short term, and today we would be closer to enactment
of sustainable and systemwide reforms.
As a nation, we now must also make the tough choices necessary to ensure the health and
economic well-being of future generations far beyond the proposed 10-year CBO budget
horizon -- especially since the CBO's projections fail to attribute any savings to critical
investments in prevention, disease management or wellness within that time frame.
Several arduous months lie ahead; there is still time.

*Also note that NCHC and Norman Ornstein try to get into the policies, while Leavitt goes the "Fear and Lies" route by using the buzzwords Obamacare and Hillarycare.
