30. Didn't the House already vote to repeal the ACA over 50 times?

The gang that can't shoot straight, misses yet again...

The other repeal votes were in full knowledge that if the Senate didn't vote them down, Obama would veto it. So they didn't bother to put together a workable replacement. And, so far, it looks like nothing has changed on that score, although they can't blame it this time on Obama's expected veto.

Sad.
