So, you can't say there was never Republican support for the ACA.  |
Yes he did.
And he never offered an alternative.
They never supported ANY comprehensive health care plan.
Just lied and said "concepts of a plan". That means there is no plan, just a concept.
And MTG stated that the maggies haven't had a plan for many years.
So, on a technical note of voting for ACA you can claim 3 voted for it. But put together and worked on a plan, an actual full blown plan, maggies well roundedly deserve the moniker Party of No.

If the health insurance company gets stuck with too many of these types of policyholders they won't make a profit and seek a increase in premium for the next year. Thus, Obamacare premiums have been increasing at an exponential rate ever since the Risk Corridor program of the ACA legislation was removed. This was led by Sen Rubio of Florida.
Read the sections on Individual mandate, Subsidies and Risk Management in the Wiki link below and it will explain why the subsidies were put in the legislation originally.

Insurance companies are not allowed to pick and choose who they insure. If so, those that really need insurace would never get it. And this has been proved with their actions with Ashkenazi Jewish women and the lawsuit they lost for black balling them.
