Quote:you crack me up, not a single republican voted for it but it's a republican plan because it sucks and everyone knows it.

 

silly cartoons don't change reality.

 

No, but before it became Obamacare, it was Romneycare. Which is what made it hard for Romney in the last election cycle.


Republicans voted against it, because they knew they could, and they knew it'd be a popular move with their voting base, because a lot of people are against Rombamcare.  It allows businesses to cut worker hours to avoid paying their health insurance, and forcing those with hours cut to pay fines for not having insurance.  Some of the politicians were against it.  While others were only against it for political reasons, or because they didn't come up with it first.

 

And of course they didn't produce their own plan, because they know repealing Obamacare will be more popular than any plan they can actually come up with.


Most of us would be better off without the ACA in the first place, but the Republicans are better off because of it.  And that's why they didn't submit their own plan to counter Obamacare, and prevent it from ever existing in the first place.  They knew that it'd be good for them.  And they knew submitting their own plan would be bad.  Because it has more potential to upset people, than repealing a law like Obamacare.  In fact just look at the ACA to see how much damage it's done to the Democratic party.
