Brief rant...
So who are the GOP Senators representing today as they work to repeal/replace the ACA? They like to claim they do the "will of the American people", but none of their plans seem to have over about 20% support from the public. After seven years of voting to repeal Obamacare, the GOP is sending up one jerry-built scheme after another in hopes that one will draw in fifty of their own people.
The latest Rube Goldberg contraption is a skinny latte for which they must first get a pinky swear that the House will not approve it. Some senators want it to be 'repeal-and-delay', so the House cannot actually put the repeal into effect right now. The Senate recognizes that their "skinny" plan will destroy the insurance markets, so they don't want it to go into effect, but they still want to approve it! That's how bad they want to pass something right now, no matter what it is. These guys couldn't lead a one-float parade.
It will be interesting to see how the State of Alaska responds to having its future threatened.
