33 reasons why Republicans shouldn’t have voted to repeal Obamacare for the 33rd time


33 reasons why Republicans shouldn’t have voted to repeal Obamacare for the 33rd time

President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law on March 23, 2010, helping make sure that millions of Americans can finally have health insurance. Since then, Republicans have voted to repeal part or all of Obamacare 33 times.

That’s 33 attempts to scrap health reform without offering a single idea on how to replace the law and still make coverage affordable and more secure. As a leader of the GOP, Mitt Romney has promised to “kill” Obamacare on day one, if elected.

To remind Romney and Republicans of what’s at stake, here are 33 reasons why repealing Obamacare would be bad news for the middle class:

1. Seniors in the Medicare “doughnut hole” are saving an average of $600 each on prescription drugs.

2. Many small businesses that provide health insurance are eligible for tax credits that can currently reduce their health care costs by as much as 35 percent, and will increase to 50 percent in 2014.
