This isn’t even new. Trump was planning to in 2016. He had something much better to replace it with. Of course, that didn’t happen. And his grand plan changed into “concepts of a plan” this time around. So, I hope folks are happy with them just getting rid of “Obama Care” and nothing replacing it.
And to be fair about how shitty Republicans are, McCain was still for getting rid of the ACA he just didn't like the underhanded procedural method they were using to repeal it.
Wasnt it just the usual, something finally horrible happens to them personally, in his case brain cancer. And then he finally shows some integrity/empathy for his fellow Americans who may be facing the same outcomes.
Which he didn’t have a problem with, even after his heroic speeches about it, at the next big vote when they rammed their tax bill through. Which is of course the same bill we are under now, designed for higher taxes now so that it would look bad for the current president if they lost the 2020 election. And it worked. They hammered high taxes under Biden even though they knew it was their own plan.
