The primary objective of ObamaCare was supposed to be getting everyone into an insurance plan to eliminate “cost-shifting” from emergency room visits… and it hasn’t made a dent. Vast amounts of money were spent for no result at all, on the core appeal that convinced many Americans to give the Affordable Care Act a shot.

In May, Republicans voted for a budget agreement that “affirmed the use of reconciliation for the sole purpose of repealing the President’s job-killing health care law.” It was a position that united an all-too-often fractured party.
