Their votes were not needed for it.

If it wouldn't have passed without, say, one or two R votes, you may be sure that they would have turned up.

“no they didn’t..”

I can understand that you aren’t aware of this very fact that they DID help it pass. So, let me point out two of the ways Republicans in BOTH Houses helped pass ObamaCare.

1. Hard rule, a bill MUST get two votes from the Minority in order to be sent to the floor.

A. Republicans supported the passage by having two Republicans on the committee vote YES.

2. It’s required that in order to have a bill submitted on the floor as, “Read into the record” requires a unanimous vote by all concerned.”

A. Republicans were ordered by their leadership under severe penalties to not vote against this.

Here’s the scam, when a democrat holds the WH and congress they cut military spending and increase redistribution to social programs. Then when it’s reversed like now, military spending is increased BUT there are NEVER cuts on the social programs, not a dime.
That’s the game both parties run on us.

So spending increases, then they rinse and repeat on the next change in office.
