What’s nuts about it is that the ACA is a pretty flawed piece of legislation. I do think there was room in there for some real improvement. And Trump actually did seem to understand at some level what the issues with it were - that it was not affordable and did not cover everyone. Instead, they had these whacknut fringe job “Freedom Caucus” people in there saying, “How can we screw women over more? How can we make this truly punishing to old people? How can we make it so the rich get really really really rich? How can we make it so fewer healthy people have basic coverage?” Seriously old white guys? You are so batshit cut off from your voters that you thought that’s what they wanted???
I am happy that they seem to be so incompetent that even with the majority and the president they cannot pull it together enough to pass one important piece of legislation that they all campaigned on for years. I feel safer, sure.
But really how are these people in office at all with instincts this terrible?
