    What the **** is it? They're literally suing to take down the Affordable Care Act which will take away protections for pre-existing conditions, stop Medicaid expansion, will allow insurance companies to cap your benefits, and millions of young people will be dropped of parental insurance. Let's see what Chuck Grassley has to say about it.

    The GOP doesn't seem to care.

    Why do they care. They are millionaires these politicians get healthcare insurance for Holding public office. They are so disconnected to real life struggles of people.

    They care about the important things like socialism in Venezuela, tax cuts for millionaires, and owning the libs.

    Jeez, I don't know if he's that disconnected or that dishonest. Either way, WTF is right.

    To answer your poll.. it's the last one. I believe Trump has already said he will come up with a much better, smarter, bigger replacement but only if he gets re-elected. Some people will continue to buy into the BS.

    Keep hammering the GOP on education and healthcare and they will crumble.

    They simply don't have adequate answers or a willingness to compromise and there's no way to obfuscate it.

    Well, they haven't done a good job of explaining themselves, that's for sure. Knowing the conservative mind like I do (;)), I think they want the government to get out of the industry's way and allow the free market to magically fix everything for them.

    Plenty of ways to obfuscate it. There is a multi-billion dollar business cranking out the obfuscations. Kochs to think tanks to focus groups to Fox News to bumper stickers to multi-millionaire hosts on ABC, NBC, CBS pushing tax breaks to unleash trickle down per supply side theology. Food stamps are theft. What gives you the moral right to tax libertarians? Charity. Giving from the goodness of your Christian heart is better as food stamps are alienating.

    Go fund me's for healthcare and education.

    They can try, but the polling data says it doesn't work.

    In the end, this is all that matters.

    This is literally the only thing that matters to Trump supporters.

    Andy Slavitt is a great follow in the debate on health care.

    At least Obamacare provided qualified death panels to make these life or death decisions.

    Poor health is an even stronger indicator of Trump voters than non-college white. Maybe Trump is betting that this bloc of voters is poorly educated and would still stick with him due to cultural fear of a nation becoming less white. I think he's mistaken. This is an opportunity for the DEM to hit him and the GOP hard and they should.

    You wouldn't be complaining about our world class healthcare system if you were living in Africa
