How would you have voted on the Affordable Care Act (2010)?

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Yea (saving $1000 per month on health insurance now)

[H. Ross Peron]

Yes, enthusiastically

[DC Al Fine]

No (R)

I like the ACA for the most part, but the way it imposed on religious freedom made it a bridge too far in the end. If there was a partial opt out clause for religious issues, I would've voted yes.

[TJ in Oregon]

No (R)

I like the ACA for the most part, but the way it imposed on religious freedom made it a bridge too far in the end. If there was a partial opt out clause for religious issues, I would've voted yes.

That wasn't known at the time of the vote. The law itself didn't require that explicitly and no one was talking about it then. It wasn't until the HHS mandate in 2011 that this came up as an issue.

[WalterMitty]

yes, though disappointed there wasnt a public option.

[Goldwater]

NAY (R)

[Vosem]

No, certainly not. And then Yes on all 41 attempts at repeal.

[TNF]

Yes (D) reluctantly

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

No (R).

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Present.  There's a mix of good and bad in the bill and I never bothered to come to a final conclusion since I wasn't going to be voting on it.  Leaning yes, but I'd reserve judgement until I'd had a chance to have staffers I trust prepare summaries of it for me, combined with my reading as much of it as I could find time for.

Oh, and even if I did end up voting yes, you can bet I'd see if I could get something out of my vote in the horse trading.

[Redalgo]

I'm leaning yea (I/O) and agree with Walter, TNF, and Federalist on this one.

[ElectionsGuy]

Nay.

[Hifly]

Yes (D)

[windjammer]

Yes (D)

[LeBron]

As did Kucinich, a definite yes.

[Miles]

Present (D)

Personally, I'd reluctantly vote yes, but if I were in Congress, my constituents would probably be strongly against it.

[TDAS04]

Yes (D)

[DC Al Fine]

No (R)

I like the ACA for the most part, but the way it imposed on religious freedom made it a bridge too far in the end. If there was a partial opt out clause for religious issues, I would've voted yes.

That wasn't known at the time of the vote. The law itself didn't require that explicitly and no one was talking about it then. It wasn't until the HHS mandate in 2011 that this came up as an issue.

Oh, in that case.

Yes without hindsight
No with hindsight

[Lambsbread]

Yea (D) but with reservations. The bill as it stood/stands is still flawed and doesn't present the best opportunity for truly universal coverage, but it's a start.

[JerryArkansas]

I would vote no because the president didn't work with the other party.  If he had worked with me and others, I would vote for it.

[windjammer]

I would vote no because the president didn't work with the other party.  If he had worked with me and others, I would vote for it.

Lol, it's sure the Republican Party is well known for bipartisanship,...


Well, health care really divides Pubs and democrats .

[Sopranos Republican]

I would vote no because the president didn't work with the other party.  If he had worked with me and others, I would vote for it.

Obamacare was the compromise, we would have had single payer if there was no compromise. So yes, Obama actually did work with the Republicans. In fact, it was Republicans who introduced the individual mandate as an alternative to your dad's proposal back in the 90's.

[Maxwell]

Nay.

[Sopranos Republican]

As for the vote I'll go reluctant Aye (R), not a fan of all aspects certainly.

[ElectionsGuy]

The Affordable Care Act or "Obama Care"  has got to be the most party line issue out there, so far no Democrat has voted no and no republican has voted yes. With the exception of Matt, who just voted Yea, RINO!
