RACINE, Wisconsin Some Republicans have indicated they will use any means necessary to sabotage Obamacares implementation, even if that means ignoring constituents who come to their office with questions about how the new law can help them. But Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) wont be one of them.
For years, Republicans have tried every possible method they could think of to undermine Obamacare. Now, after failing to stop the law from passing, failing in an attempt to get the Supreme Court to strike it down, and failing in nearly 40 tries to repeal the law, some conservative House Republicans are simply going to try to sabotage the law. The leaders of this new effort are Reps. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) and Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), who have said they will try to undermine Obamacare by purposefully not helping constituents who come to them with questions about navigating Obamacare

If successful, which it will be, of course the gop party will take credit for it and will totally have complete amnesia about what they tried doing to it - defeat, defund and repeal it.

I wonder how many people in Red States would like to pay half as much for health insurance too?

When he gets health care, he will be able to get the knee surgery. But he still hates Obama care. But I know he will sign up quick and get that surgery, pain is a great motivator in this case.
I am sure there are thousands of people like him.
