Rep. Blackburn on health care law repeal vote: I wish Congress would vote to repeal it ‘every single day’

Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and NewYorker.com Contributor Richard Socarides spar over the expected vote by Congress to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

Socarides says, “[The vote] is like a piece of theater, right?…. This is not going to be repealed. So you’re just doing it to make a point.”

She responds, “I’m doing it to repeal it and get rid of it.”

Rep. Blackburn adds, “I wish we’d go [vote on] it every single day.”
