Curbelo’s stance

Reporter Patricia Mazzei gives Republican U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo a pretty good score for being bi-partisan, and in truth, he has taken a fair position on a few issues important to South Floridians.

However, how many times did he vote to repeal or defund the Affordable Care Act? Curbelo is a Cuban American, and Obamacare has benefited the Cuban community living in Hialeah more that any other group in the state.

How does he rationalize taking a hard line Republican party position on an issue of such critical importance to many south Floridians?
