Wasn't Obamacare based largely on Romneycare?

What really sucks about it all is that it does nothing about pharmaceutical companies making record profits. It's a wee bit disturbing to me (generally speaking) that I'm by and large a healthy person with very good health insurance through my job. I take 2 pills every day. Neither is available in a generic and my insurance pays about $10 on each. I pay $100/month for them. I'd hate to see what would happen if I were NOT a healthy person.

As a complete aside, I would very much like to see a comparison of how much of my federal tax money is going to the new health care platform as compared to how much of my state tax money currently goes to hospitals to care for those without insurance.
