0 trying to do that. in other words, when they shut down the government, they did. that was an effort to kill the affordable care act. and for what? and so they have changed their tactics a little bit. what theyve decided to do is theyre going to have hearing after hearing after hearing throughout several committees in the congress to simply criticize. theyre not about trying to make it better. theyre about criticizing it. and i am convinced that the glitches that we see will be worked out, and ...

0 law will start seeing the benefits. >> i think the republicans are right in that right now the public opinion poll shows most people dont like the law or arent sure about it. and certainly not keyed into the benefits when you call it obama care and you talk about it in one big gulp. so this is the republicans really last chance to win this fight in terms of rhetoric. theyve done a great job of never saying die. theyre like the japanese soldiers in the end of world war ii. saying dont believe i...
