WASHINGTON -- Obamacare is now the law of the land, and has been since President Barack Obama signed the bill into law on March 23, 2010. But if you listen to Republicans, it's still just a bill, sitting on Capitol Hill.
"The American people don't want the president's health care bill," said House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) last week.
"The will of the people, I think, is to delay this bill until we can fix things that we all agree are a problem," said Rep. Rob Woodall (R-Ga.) in a recent C-SPAN interview.
"And so my plea to this body is that we listen to the American people, because if we listen to our constituents, the answer is, defund this bill that isn't working, that's hurting the American people," said Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) during his 21-hour speech last week on the Senate floor.
Whether Republicans want to admit it to themselves, Obamacare is law. After all, if it were still a bill, there would be no need to defund it, since it wouldn't yet have any funding anyway.
