  13. DID DEMS DO THEIR JOBS? Different people advocate different approaches to the 2010 health care law known as the Affordable Care Act and sometimes called ObamaCare. Please indicate which of the opinions below comes closest to your own, even if none of them are exactly right… Democrats who passed ObamaCare in 2010 did not do their jobs to properly understand the impact of the law before voting for it. Democrats who passed ObamaCare in 2010 understood the impact of law, but lied about it in order to both get the bill passed and keep their jobs. Democrats who passed ObamaCare in 2010 understood the impact of the law and decided it was necessary for the country. They should not be punished for playing politics to get it passed. Democrats who passed ObamaCare in 2010 were open and honest about the process. The real world cannot be perfectly predicted, and they are working hard to meet their commitments.
