时文精选考研英语阅读 Coming back to bite him Republicans want to repeal Barack Obamas health laws. How badly could they hurt the reformsand how much will this help them in Novembers elections? Oct 14th xx |NEW YORK WHAT does Mrs DAmico care about most? That question, concerning afictional but representative constituent from his Long Island base, is one that preoupies Steve Israel, a moderate Democratic congressman from New York. He worries that the answer, all too often, is Barack Obamas controversial new health-care reform bill, enacted back in March. His strategy has been to tackle the issue head-on, by trumpeting the virtues of Obamacare, such as the planned end to lifetime caps on insurance payouts or the guarantee that insurance must be offered to all, without discrimination on the grounds of pre-existing conditions. I just got sick of the Republicans getting away with murder, he declares.
