I found this on the internet.....

The Affordable Care Act, deemed "Obamacare" by some, received no Republican votes in either the Senate or the House of Representatives. In the Senate, the bill was passed with a total of 60 votes, or 58 Democratic Party votes and 2 Independent Party votes.............

Here is a link on the above quote:

So even though the ACA has saved thousands of lives...the assholes will probably vote against it..but maybe there will be a few...maybe...??
