Republican Vivisectionists and the AHCA
Bless PBO for trying with the ACA but he was attempting vivisection and it is a testament to his skill that the thing is still alive. He actually grafted together a semi viable universal healthcare program by taking parts from free market howler monkeys, common congressional lap lizards, domesticated blue dog collaborators and attached them to progressives who actually wanted to make it happen.
Like most movies about vivisection the results have been less than pretty and there is usually a fatal flaw or weakness that causes the hybrid to die. But In the case of the ACA, the Republicans also tried to starve it to death and hunt it to extinction. Watching them fail miserably at that that and then head to the garage over a couple of weekends to make one of their own with chainsaws and blowtorches has been fun to watch.
Tax reform oughta be a real hoot.
