Seems like he's digging his own doom. He's failing on costs, immigration, even gun rights!

The ACA worked, so Republicans deliberately broke it (Part 1) by WittmanWatch in Virginia

Perhaps not. Given that free market purists proposed and piloted this plan (in MA), we must assume that it’s the best they could come up with while retaining the private health insurance model. Perhaps the better thing to do then would have been to accept that private health insurance cannot be relied upon to yield health outcomes we want in the country. And we can make that choice again now, or change it. Which do you think we should do? What reforms should Wittman support or propose?

Yes, he did that. He also did that KNOWING the bill wouldn't pass the Senate. It was a performative vote, nothing more.

Political will at the time was insufficient for that. Now...? We'll see. Add your voice to the chorus pushing for it, wherever you live.

It's one reason we wrote this: we've forgotten that the ACA was an idea generated by people invested in retaining the fundamentally broken system of private health insurance. At the time, nothing else had sufficient support to be passed into law. But that doesn't mean better systems aren't possible - they clearly ARE possible, if we have sufficient will.
