will be affected by this at all.

Yes, their constituents will, but they figure by the next time they are facing reelection, it won't matter anymore.

They don't care about the ACA, they don't care about those 50k people dying annually, they can all afford top tier health care, the kind of care the elite get.

They don't need to care, they've got a senate seat for as long as they want it and the money and clout it brings.

If ordinary people die, well, as long as its no one they personally care about, it's no big deal to them.
