Why Republicans Hate Obamacare

Click here for an article at Mother Jones by Kevin Drum, entitled "Why Do Republicans Hate Obamacare?"

The article is short and worth reading, but it boils down to this:

Republicans hate the idea that we're spending money on the working class and the poor. They hate the idea that Barack Obama is responsible for a pretty successful program. They hate the idea that taxes on the wealthy went up a bit. They hate the idea that a social welfare program can do a lot of good for a lot of people at a fairly modest price.

The article quotes a tweet from Charlie Pierce (Esquire magazine) that says:

I watched it close up for a week. Sheer spite is a bigger part of it than I would've believed.
