Quick Note: 50th Time is the Charm?

Since 2009, congressional Republicans have been saying that they are working on an alternative to the Affordable Care Act.   They've been working for five years and uncounted deadlines have passed, but now they're finally getting serious...sort of.

January 30th of this year -- House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Virginia):  "This year, we will rally around an alternative to Obamacare and pass it on the floor of the House."

February 21 -- Mr. Cantor announced that his Party is working "to finalize our Obamacare replacement plan."

February 24 -- A spokesman for Mr. Cantor said his office is preparing to "begin" work on an alternative to Obamacare.

February 27 -- House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he is ready to "have conversations" with his fellow Republicans to discuss an alternative to Obamacare.  "We're going to continue to go through a lot of ideas."

On Wednesday, the Republican dominated U.S. House of Representatives voted--for the 50th time--to repeal the ACA.  I wonder which one of Mr. Boehner's "lot of ideas" that was?
