7. GOP bad for healthcare
Fri Mar 20, 2026, 10:03 AM

It has already passed the House.
Senate may be afraid to pass it because Trump has said he might veto anyway.

Trump's plan is not much of a plan.
His talk about paying consumers directly and Health Savings Account is meaningless.
Unless he is prepared to go to single-payer, insurance will get the money anyway.

Thune and Johnson voted for Trump's ACA repeal in 2017.
Is GOP trying to repeal ACA in different ways?
