This should scare the shit out of every American

4. This is really sad, but I am beginning to think that we need to think in terms of

minimizing the deaths this bill causes in the long term. And when you think of it that way, I am not sure what to wish for.

If the bill does not go through, they will bleed the ACA until it cannot survive and they will blame the resulting chaos on the Democrats. I fear that if that happens, there will be no medical coverage for another generation.

If the bill does go through, people will suffer horribly in the short term, but the ramifications of supporting Republicans will become clear to millions, and perhaps we will create a reasonable plan four years from now.

I hate to say this, but I am beginning to hope their monstrosity passes.
