    What do you mean they watered it down? It started out as their halfway plan, ie Romneycare.

      Then why did the Republicans filibuster Romneycare and then recently froze all of it’s funding? Why did they campaign on removing it, twice?

        Because it was implemented by dems and gave things to the poors and minorities.

        It’s also why they don’t have a replacement because it was their plan.

          So its both leftist anti-elite legislation and also corrupt republican-lite legislation, got it.

            In republican eyes yes. But they don’t care about being hypocritical.

            For example Romney taking credit for it and saying it’s terrible
