As Joe alluded, the main reason is that those CD's tend to have a Pub hue. The ACA was but one issue, with other partisan issues also in play, and even if the incumbent tended to vote the Pub line on most controversial issues, they still can be tarred and feathered with having voted to make Pelosi Speaker of the House. The US political system in Congress has evolved to the point that it looks more now like how a Parliamentary system works, with pretty strict party discipline, and rebels tending to have short half lives.
