Back when he was a congressman, Jason Altmire (D-PA) bucked his own party and voted against the Affordable Care Act. He left office earlier this year and now works for a health insurance company in Florida. Seeing as the law legally requires people to buy his employer’s product, he unsurprisingly now supports the law.
