Because if you're not offering something in return then it's blackmail. Unless the GOP can get 60 votes in the Senate, control of the house, and control of the Presidency the ACA is going into effect. It's already law. And while one could argue that the Democrats compromised by giving up a single payer system, it's really irrelevant to the present debate. We are where we are.
But really, this is just a dress rehearsal for the debt ceiling. .
Something which both sides do. :shrug:
Also you should note that "blackmail" is a far more accurate word than "terrorist".
