The Affordable Care Act of 2010 was actually written by a number of people, some of whom were in the House and Senate, but others of whom were advisers to President Obama (like Ezekiel J. Emmanuel); and some who advised individual members of congress (like Elizabeth Fowler). Other influences included lobbyists from the healthcare industry; the former governor of Massachusetts (and Republican presidential candidate) Mitt Romney; MIT Economics professor Jonathan Gruber (a former aid to Mr. Romney and later an adviser to the Obama Administration); and Harvard Professor of Public Health John McDonough (also a former adviser to Mr. Romney, and later an adviser to several US senators).

Actually, we can trace presidential interest in providing some kind of health care all the way back to 1912, when Theodore Roosevelt advocated for it. Other presidents have also advocated for it, including Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Harry Truman, and Lyndon Johnson. President Obama was the first president in decades to successfully implement an updated and expanded version of health care.
