Fortunately...

Trumplicans are very, very fortunate that 80 percent of their voters are so goddamned stupid, they'll believe anything Paul Ryan and Tom Price tell them. If Trumplican voters had the analytical thought capacity of an average Rottweiler, about 95 percent of Trumplican politicians would be looking for new jobs.   

From Huffington Post:
Everybody knew that the CBO’s estimate of the American Health Care Act, which two House committees approved last week, would be dismal. Even before the report was out, Republicans had begun trying to discredit the agency, by pointing out past errors and arguing that mere coverage numbers didn’t tell the real story about the Affordable Care Act or how Republicans proposed to supplant it. 
But the CBO report was much worse than expected. The Republican bill would cut $880 billion from Medicaid over 10 years, steer federal tax credits away from lower-income consumers and undo some of the Affordable Care Act’s changes to the insurance market ― including the “individual mandate” that imposes financial penalties on people who decline to get coverage.
Added 3:12 PM same day:  Is it possible that a Republican from Arkansas is emerging as the A Little Bit Sane alternative to Trumplican assholery? We need a few more like this guy, and a lot less of Price.

AND WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT - Until the so-called precedent (sic) appears on national television to announce that he'll veto the health care bill that's under construction in the House, this is TRUMP CARE. He owns it.
