"Jamming through"...seriously?? It took just at 1 year to do the ACA. Plenty of meetings, some even televised. By comparison, It has been 6 months and the GOP has tried twice to come up with something. The secret Senate work by the 13 Guys was a highlight.
If you'll note, the taxes involved to keep the ACA funded fall on the highest income groups. Further, the insurance is not "free" but it is subsidized IN PART. So no, you didn't end up paying in any realistic sense for somebody's insurance.

To claim both parties are equally disinterested in the lower and middle class, you might want to examine just who will suffer the most under the GOP plan.
