There are a number of arguments saying the same thing but from the other side of that on the political spectrum.
I'll bring up Garland again because his case is a recent prime example, conservative judge nominated by liberal president to replace a conservative judge only to be blocked by conservative majority unwilling to work with a liberal president.
ACA passage was a vote along party lines because conservatives refused to vote on it.
During it's drafting Obama went to great lengths to try and make it a bipartisan bill. The legislation itself is actually very friendly to private insurance companies in having them be a major part in providing health insurance. All of that was put in place through GOP amendments which were implemented into the final bill.
With the passage of the GOP tax cut for corporations and the wealthy
democratic input was largely ignored and the bill was shrouded in secret right up until before the vote was scheduled to take place. The headline for that article is very click baity but read through it and draw your own conclusions.
With that said I'm not sold on the argument the the GOP is open and willing to work with the Dems but the Dems just ram through what they want regardless of the other side. I see more evidence to the contrary that the GOP is the party ramming through their agenda with little input from the Dems because they are the majority and they don't really need it.
