Republicans should like ti too. After all, the ACA was based on a proposal by the Heritage Foundation and was the basis of Bob Dole's healthcare plan when he ran for president in 1996.
In short, Republicans were for it until they were against it.

What are you talking about? There are no fines for exceeding income thresholds. There are subsidies for low-income people.

Once again, Obamacare does not set the rates. Rates are set by the insurance companies under the laws of each state. If the rates are high in you state, look to the state government.
Also keep in mind that any increases that occurred in 2018 or after are the result of changes the Trump administration made to the ACA. SO if your costs went up for 2018 or later, blame Trump.
