| مستخلص: |
For years, Republicans in Congress promised to "repeal and replace" the Affordable Care Act. The results of the 2016 elections put them in position to take action on the seminal domestic policy achievement of outgoing President Barack Obama. Repeal efforts faced many obstacles, including angry constituents crowding town hall style meetings with Republican members. Many members faced a stark choice between voting with their constituents or voting with their party. We use data on the number of town halls held by members to analyze whether members who heard from upset constituents were more likely to oppose the repeal effort. Next, we utilize data on House primaries and the 2018 general election to test whether the member's position on repeal had any effects on the member's electoral success. We find clear evidence that member's voting behavior on the health care repeal had electoral effects in the 2018 general election. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
