No, it's on all of them.  Republicans had their chances to fix things and they did not.  Screw the partisan bullshit, both parties need to be raked over the coals for their failure to fix our terrible health care system. 

But...during this same timeline of Obamacare (and majority Dem positions around that time), they actually had a sort of stepladder policy that showed potential but was stone-walled by ignoramuses they said they had nothing or, in the case of Alan Grayson, laughed off their plan as just saying "don't get sick or die!" plan.  

Hell, the very notion of allowing insurances across any state line would've shown results that'd improve compeition tenfold.

Tenfold?  Where are you getting that from?  Most insurance experts believe it would have little overall effect.  Nothing I've seen even hints at a dramatic impact like "tenfold".  Even if there is potential long-term, it would have to be very carefully planned and enacted or it could turn into a mess that hurts consumers.  Just saying "allowing insurances across any state line" is so vague as to be almost meaningless.
