Team Boehner Frantically Reassures Drudge That GOP Really Is Repealing Obamacare

TOM KLUDT – APRIL 7, 2014, 10:13 AM EDT

House Republicans don't want anyone — certainly not Matt Drudge — to get the wrong idea about the latest change to the Affordable Care Act.

Legislation to eliminate the cap on deductibles for small group policies offered inside Obamacare's exchanges as well as outside had bipartisan support. The bill was signed into law by President Obama. And that just won't do for repeal-obsessed conservatives.

When Drudge caught wind of the GOP's apparent apostasy, he splashed a pointed question across his heavily trafficked front page on Sunday: "Republicans Expand Obamacare?"

The headline remained on the Drudge Report's front page on Monday morning.

Either they try for some more useless and unproductive repeal votes or their "base" is going to be mad at them (hopefully enough not to vote for them perhaps?). It would be ironic (and fitting) that the biggest accomplishment of Barack Obama's Presidency is to finally drive the Republican Party over the edge.
