(Something that helps with trying to get re-elected) Obviously they don't have a chance in he.ll to pass it.

4 doctors were elected to this years congress (all Republicans) on the platform that they aren't politicians, but they are actual doctors with experience that may be ideal on how healthcare needs to be handled. One big sticking point is how its being financed. These people would not had been elected if the voters didn't have an issue with Obamacare.

Plus now you have 26 states filing lawsuits against Obamacare.
Are you talking about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act? The passed bill has been out (geesh, it's been on the internet for months) and it's pretty apparent from yesterday's Congressional floor that everybody has indeed read it, and understand it very well.

The lawsuits are PR from GOP states, and only against one provision of the bill, not the entire bill. Those lawsuits have been thrown out due to no merit in 14 states, the provision has been ruled constitutional in 2, and ruled unconstitutional in 1.
