not in washington, d.c., and not able to vote. the insidious part of this from a free-market point of view, the success of barack obama who succeeded in establishing as a premise, as a baseline, that it's now accepted by all democrats and most republicans, and somehow from somewhere is the obligation of the federal government to provide health insurance for every american. rand paul, mike lee, ted cruz reject that, they take the free market approach. as long as there are those in the republican party who think that all of these programs go too far and those in the republican party who think they don't go far enough, there is not going to be a consensus to interfere with obamacare. many of the senators who voted against obamacare and now can't bring themselves to vote to repeal it because too many people have become accustomed to the benefits it has afforded. it was before we have found that throughout american history, it's very hard to take them away.
