House Democrats explain why they think Republicans keep failing on health care - Vox

House Democrats explain why they think Republicans keep failing on health care - Vox:

House Democrats have a theory for why Republicans failed spectacularly in their attempt to pass a new health care bill filled with longstanding Republican health care policy ideas.
Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI) said it’s because Congress already did so — way back in 2010. It’s now called Obamacare.
“They’re now realizing, maybe for the first time, that we took all of their best ideas and put it in the Affordable Care Act. And now they have nowhere else to go,” Kind said of congressional Republicans in an interview on Thursday afternoon.
