Related: About this forumRep. Martha McSally: 'I'm getting my ass kicked' on vote to repeal 'Obamacare'
Soon after she assumed office to represent Arizonas Tucson-based district in the House of Representatives, Martha McSally voted for a Republican-backed measure to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
McSallys aye vote for H.R. 596 was recorded on the evening of Feb. 3, 2015, and came as her party was intent on undoing, tweaking or rolling back the controversial 2010 health care law implemented by President Barack Obama and Democrats.
A year later, McSally voted again to repeal the law.
And in May 2017, McSally voted for the GOP's American Health Care Act, which revived their hopes of repealing central portions of the Affordable Care Act, often referred to as "Obamacare." That legislation, if passed, would have reduced the federal deficit but resulted in 23 million more uninsured Americans through 2026, a Congressional Budget Office analysis found, though McSally's campaign says that estimate was based on "bad projections" about the Affordable Care Act that never materialized.

I remember when a little tweaking of the district lines was done to get her in the house.

Now, instead of throwing herself a pity party, she needs to show some sympathy for those who were murdered on Saturday.

Considering she's had government-provided health care her entire adult life, as an USAF officer, DoD civil servant, and member of Congress, she's a hypocrite of astronomical proportions...
Time to retire.
