This is something I’ve wondered about for a while — the odd sight of Republicans wanting to repeal anything that puts money into the pockets of their biggest donors. As Mark Schmitt points out, “The Republicans will talk about repealing “Obamacare” for as long as it succeeds in firing up their base. But it’s all cheap talk; they won’t do a thing. And so, the Affordable Care Act is secure. Unfortunately, that has less to do with public opinion or the Constitution than the simple power of money in politics.”
