Congratulations to the Republican Party

They have finally repealed and replaced ObamaCare with TrumpCare, or as some are calling it, DonTCare. Of course, a tax cut for the rich is included. There will be less medical coverage, fewer people covered, and will be more, much more expensive because the subsidies are being replaced with unusable tax credits and increase cost sharing. Benefit caps will come back. Pre-existing conditions will again negate coverage. And, Medicaid will disappear and be replaced with miserly CBD Grants. Deficits will blossom. Oh, and the Congressional Budget Office has yet to score it. No amount of spin can put sufficient lipstick on this pig.
