He, a bunch of others in the Senate, and 60+ in the House were all elected in 2010 strictly on "repeal Obamacare" while Democrats ran away from it. Their funding came from the Kochs.

This is why he and so many others (like Lee & Cruz and the teanuts in the House) are so adamant to "repeal" and to hell with "replace" (which is a "moderate GOP" talking point). They were a bunch of crazies elected for carrying out a single issue and they will not let it go.
