Republicans, Democrats and pretty much everyone else is for Affordable Health Care in America. Republicans at the moment though are against the Affordable Health Care Act, more popularly known as ObamaCare, as enacted into Law.Although everyone on all sides wants Affordable Health Care and Affordable Health Insurance, there are disagreements on how to achieve it.AnswerRepublicans said no to Obamacare before they knew what was in it. Obama had a really good plan because he knew that congress would hate Obamacare. He made the bill 2,000 pages long, and gave congress only two hours to read it, that way they wouldn't know what was in it. Most democrats trusted Obama and passed the evil bill. The Republicans did not trust Obama and they all said no.
According to most objective sources, Republicans have now (as of mid-March 2013) tried on more than 34 separate occasions to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
First, the official name for it is the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)." Its opponents often refer to it as "Obamacare," when they are trying to blame the president for an act with which they disagree. This act was passed by congress in March 2010. As for who was behind it, it was a priority for Democrats and for the president; they were trying to reform health care in the United States. The PPACA passed the Senate with all Democrats voting for it, and all Republicans voting against it. It should be noted that while Democrats voted for it, some felt it did not go far enough: they would have preferred a "Single Payer" system. But Democrats ultimately agreed to pass the act because they believed it made a good start in eliminating some of the problems with the health care system. Their Republican opponents disagreed and promised that if a Republican was elected, the PPACA (or "Obamacare") would be repealed.
The government is shutdown because the democrats and republicans cannot come to a mutral agreement. Democrats think we should have Obamacare while Republicans say that our government will go into a bigger debt which could some day force each American citizen to pay 60,000 to 80,000 each to pay off the governments debt.
