The GOP's Latest Health Care Replacement Bill Is Even More Heartless Than First Thought

1. I just don't see how this ends well for the GOP

Maybe I'm being wildly optimistic, but I haven't seen a single article anywhere (in the MSM--I don't go to Breitbart etc) saying one positive thing about it, except for one otherwise critical article saying that the income level at which people can get subsidies has gone up. But they're ALL talking about how rape and domestic violence (and basically being female) will be possible pre-existing conditions that will allow insurers to deny coverage.

IIRC, in the Bush era MSM articles about things that happened in Washington used to be pretty poker-faced about whether a policy was crappy or not. Not any more.

The GOP will always have its base because a certain number of people are irretrievably dumb and closed-minded. But friends and families get together and talk, and I just don't see how this could possibly increase the GOP's popularity among those who are even occasionally persuadable.
