7,386 Times

A Destructive Obsession
We know that the GOP will do nearly anything
to deny millions of Americans the security of quality, affordable
health care. Nevertheless, even we were surprised to discover that House Republicans have collectively voted to repeal Obamacare a whopping 7,386 times.
Those 7,386 repeal votes represent about 15 percent of the floor time
in the House of Representatives since 2011. This would perhaps help
explain why this Congress is on track to be the least productive in the
modern era.
Yesterday we learned that Republicans will
do a whole lot more than waste time when it comes to Obamacare. In
addition to threatening to shut down the government over Obamacare,
they’re now threatening to manufacture a debt limit crisis and tank the entire economy unless Democrats agree to massive cuts to Obamacare, Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.
According to a new poll out today,
the GOP’s obsession with destroying Obamacare is wearing thin with the
public. In particular, the GOP’s current effort to defund the health
care law is broadly unpopular. The overwhelming majority of Democrats
oppose it, 53 percent of Independent voters oppose it, and even 34
percent of Republicans oppose it.
