Actually the vote tallies just demonstrate how wingnutty the Republican Party has become in the last few years. The legislation at hand is, literally and without exaggeration, almost entirely Republican in nature. It's nearly identical to proposals made by Republican presidential candidates. It's nearly identical to what Mitt Romney pushed for and got in Massachusetts. It is an unexciting law that contains massive giveaways to favored Republican industries like the drug companies. And yet, not a single Republican in 2010 could manage to vote for it. And Republican columnists and Republican think-tank members who pointed out the law is exactly what Republicans say they want... they got fired for violating Party orthodoxy. That speaks volumes about the modern Republican Party, and says very little about the healthcare law.
