I disagree. Although, I don't think that the ACA is a perfect piece of legislation, it's also SOMETHING. I keep hearing "repeal and replace" but all I've seen is the repeal part and then let the system go back to axing people for pre-existing conditions and capping benefits among many other injustices that our healthcare industry has foisted on us. The point has been made that House republicans don't like the ACA, that was perfectly clear with the first 10 or so repeal votes, letting it go into the 40s is just pouting about it, and I think the endless grandstanding about is shameful. There are better ways to have the conversation about how to fix the healthcare situation than constantly wasting House time on purely symbolic votes.

Good luck on your campaign and thank you for your response.

Do you expect or have you experienced any pressure from the GOP to stay away from Boehner? I would think that having their speaker go through a primary process or worse lose his seat to another republican could be seen as something of a black eye for the party.

Also, do you support/would you support continuing to spend House time on meaningless votes to repeal the ACA?

Thank you
