though he may as well have. The next Republican "Obamacare-Replacement Unit" will come and go just like every scheduled apocalypse. If they haven't come up with an alternative to ACA in five years, how are they going to come up with something substantive in another 3 months? And, just for the sake of argument, their teabagger minions (and probably a majority of their "crazy caucus" in the House) probably wouldn't support anything that Ryan, et. al come up with because they don't care about people having health care unless they're independently wealthy (or on old-age single payer government healthcare), so it's safe to say that there will be no alternative forthcoming.
