Just for clarity - this is not about left v right. This is about a staggering level of unpreparedness and incompetence.
They had 7 fucking years to draft a potential replacement for the ACA. 7 years!
The conservatives in the US, even those leaning marginally right, or just unhappy with how ACA affected their health insurance, had the right to expect that the Republican candidates who campaigned on repeal and replace at the very least had a fucking plan.
The replublicans don't like the current health care system? Then draft a replacement that everyone can live with. You claim it is possible to have a health system that doesn't leave ordinary Americans crippled by insurance costs, allows them the level of choice they want, and doesn't drop millions of Americans outside of cover altogether - then devise a plan to get there your way.
The worst things about Trump and his administration are nothing to do with left and right.
I think the political situation is so surreal that late night comedy is a form of catharsis.
