29. I think they legitimately wanted to get rid of ACA

Oct 2013

because after Medicare was passed by Democrats, Democrats controlled Congress for the next 30 years (there was a brief period where where the Senate was run by Repubs from 1981 - 87, but Dems still controlled the House).

I believe that Republicans remember that, and after the ACA fully goes into effect so many people will love that Dems will control Congress for the next 30 years.

So, again, it's the love of money because they want to keep their cushy, profitable jobs, but it's also about Power.
