Up to a point. The compromises on 'Obamacare' were made at time of Bill's passage through Congress. It was effectively endorsed by Obama's re-election. What the TP contingent are trying to do now is exercise a veto by linking health reform with the budget.
If you follow the money then the stink of funding from those profiting from the current health system is overpowering.
