Both? Nobody in the GOP voted for it, and they keep trying to repeal it. That is not what someone who desires power from it would do.

“Both? Nobody in the GOP voted for it, and they keep trying to repeal it. That is not what someone who desires power from it would do.”

The risk of paying attention to politics is becoming a cynic. I am very cynical.

When a big vote comes up on an unpopular issue, that the political class wants passed, it’s common for the leadership, once enough votes are assured, to let those who are at risk, to vote against it.

John Boehner, among others, has stated it’s too late to repeal obamacare.

It went to the Supreme Court, and a “conservative” Chief Justice tortured the law to get a tax out of it, so it could stand.

There are a few members of Congress that would repeal the law, but they are in the decided minority, and not part of the GOPe.
