What you said is the “the HOR voted against Obamacare 40 times”. And what I said is that the votes were bogus because they didn’t include defunding Obamacare, which is the one thing the HOR has the power to do.

[what's up]

The parallel of the 40 votes to this issue is that even if the House voted to gut the mandate, the Senate would not take it up.

Defunding has nothing to do with this particular issue.
