The primary factor in the doubling of premiums and increasing deductibles is cutbacks in subsidies to the insurance companies, as well as failure to enforce profit caps. Both courtesy of Republicans.
As far as Medicaid goes, the reason why Medicaid expenses go up every year (and have since before the ACA) is that the Republicans have been quite successful in making more people poor just to give more to the rich.
The only way the Democrats will “own” the failure of the ACA is if it fails, and fails on its own, without the help of Republican saboteurs.
