ObamaCare was written and passed BEFORE the GOP gained the majority. During that time, the GOP did write nearly a dozen alternatives, maybe more than a dozen, none of which were allowed to reach the floor by Pelosi.

“ObamaCare was written and passed BEFORE the GOP gained the majority. During that time, the GOP did write nearly a dozen alternatives, maybe more than a dozen, none of which were allowed to reach the floor by Pelosi.”

I’m well aware of the history when the GOP was not in power in Congress and the Obamacare bill was pushed through by Nancy Pelosi. I was speaking to the time since January 2011 when the GOP has controlled one or both houses of Congress. Since they’ve had the power to control the legislative process they haven not put one alternative bill on the floor for a vote, much less pass an bill replacing O’care and put it on the president’s desk for signature or veto.

What good is a majority if that majority won’t act? I can assure you as soon as the Democrats have control of both houses of Congress again they will be passing bills to further their agenda.
