they already had a majority in the house of rep since the 2010 elections where republicans were voted in and set a record for the largest republican victory EVER RECORDED since the civil war and in the last election they did vote in a bigger majority for the GOP house but it meant nothing since they didn't get enough seats in the senate to have any say in what bills get voted on there.
the American voters do want to repeal Obamacare but they cant because they are lazy and greedy and want get a government check every month and if they vote republican they might not get that free government check every month and have to go find a job.
I see people every day laughing because they get paid not to work.
if you lose your job and are depressed you get full disability because of depression and if you get a job you lose your disability so they sit home and watch soap operas all day collecting disability and food stamps.
caring for people is one thing and helping those in need is great but you need to make sure those getting help really need it.
this dependency on a government check means they have an incentive not to change the system so the free gravy train never stops.
the republicans allowed government handouts to get too far out of hand and the dems were laughing as they knew it meant no one would ever vote against free money so they would never lose power.
for these reasons and those reasons alone we have obamacare today
oh and everyone should stop calling it ACA because that's just a lie there is nothing that is affordable in the affordable care act. its not affordable, everyone will be denied all but the most basic care, and the government doesn't care if you live or die as in the case of that poor little girl Cathleen sevilias denied a lung transplant because the cost analysis chart said it didn't have good odds of success vs the cost risk.
thank god private donors found a way to pay for it to save the girls life
that's your example of the oft denied government death panels already at work
