Not a single Republican voted for the Affordable Care Act in the House of Representatives. One Republican senator – Olympia Snowe of Maine – voted for it in committee, but then switched sides, threatened to kill it via filibuster, and voted against its final passage.
结果我们都知道了。在众议院，没有一个共和党投票赞成平价医疗法案。一位共和党参议员——缅因州的斯诺威（Olympia Snowe）在委员会中投票赞成，但随后反悔，威胁要以冗长演说扼杀这一法案，并投票反对它的最后通过。
