President Donald Trump has said the new Republican healthcare policy should be to allow the current law to collapse. “I’m not going to own it,” Mr Trump told reporters of Obamacare, “I can tell you the Republicans are not going to own it.”
But:
- It collapses only in red states, not in blue states, so he would murder his own supporters, mostly.
- Repeal without replace will cause 32M people to lose healthcare coverage, per the CBO. Criminal.
And all that because they can’t get their own miserly tax cut for the rich, uuh, healthcare plan through and want to score some cheap political points gambling with the health and lives of others..
