    the republican neutered the original bill of "ACA’ and they wernt going to agree with it unless its watered down, plus there were a ton of DINOS at the time too.

      What do you mean they watered it down? It started out as their halfway plan, ie Romneycare.

        Then why did the Republicans filibuster Romneycare and then recently froze all of it’s funding? Why did they campaign on removing it, twice?

          Because it was implemented by dems and gave things to the poors and minorities.

          It’s also why they don’t have a replacement because it was their plan.

            So its both leftist anti-elite legislation and also corrupt republican-lite legislation, got it.

              In republican eyes yes. But they don’t care about being hypocritical.

              For example Romney taking credit for it and saying it’s terrible

      Technically the Republicans didn’t even agree with the watered down bill, the one we had to convince to pass via supermajority was Ind Joe Leieberman.
