Which 46 Democrats Just Voted to Hobble the Affordable Care Act?

Yesterday, House Republicans returned to one of their favorite pastimes: trying to hobble the Affordable Care Act.

That took the form of a bill to repeal the medical device tax, one of the funding mechanisms for the ACA. The "Protect Medical Innovation Act" would reduce revenue for the ACA by $24.4 billion over the next years.

Many Democrats expressed concern that repealing the medical device tax would have a slippery slope effect:

"If people vote for this industry to essentially go back on its commitment to participate, other providers are going to ask for the same treatment. And so in that respect, what the Republicans are aiming to do is to unravel — to unravel — ACA," Rep. Sandy Levin (D-Mich.) said.

The bill passed 280 to 140, with 46 Democrats joining Republicans.
