No, she isn't. But her constituents are, and they now have health insurance because of the ACA. If she wants to keep her seat, she has to deal with this reality.
Boehner said the same thing. In addition the Tea Party RSC wanted a plan before they went home for the summer because they dont want to be attacked in town hall meetings. In McMorris-Rodger district and in nearby Idaho a whole lot of Republican voters signed on to the ACA. Some of these areas no one would admit to being a democrat but they strangely have a whole lot of people on the ACA and Medicaid expansion.
McMorris Rodgers voted 54 times to repeal Obamacare. Somebody probably told her that 50,000 people in her district have signed up for the ACA. Those are mostly adults who work and vote. Thats probably 15% of the voters in her district. So do you tell them you are going to take their insurance away and have absolutely no plan? Here is a link to the article that mentions the sign-ups in her district. The final numbers are probably closer to 60,000.
