The Affordable Care Act — also known as Obamacare — is now five years old, despite the best efforts of its opponents.

The controversy over the law started at its birth, when the House of Representatives passed it on an all-Democratic vote, 219 to 212. President Obama signed the bill two days later, on March 23, 2010.

Since then, House Republicans have voted more than 50 times to try to defund the controversial law. So far, they have had no luck.
