I said on another thread, the new meme is 'Repeal and Repair.' It's being tried out now by Lamar Alexander and several others who are getting cold, clammy feet. The wording change was a Luntz suggestion because Trumpers are beginning to realize they could lose their healthcare.

Oh Noes!

In addition, the GOP has been unable to rally major movers and shakers in the insurance industry for the wrecking party. There is no viable plan in sight, beyond half-baked ideological screeds about patient choice. One of those choices I assume would be to give it up and just die already. That's the consequence of using weasel words like 'access.' Everyone will have access. Only not the means to pay for it.

Republicans are hanging out in space with their raggedy pants down and they know it. No one will thank them for blowing up the healthcare system and/or the US economy.
