the problem with republicans writing a healthcare bill is that their heart isn't in it. They're just going through the motions to get rid of something with Obama's name attached to it and will gamble on whether or not they pay a political price for it down the road. It's a shitty fucking way to be and I feel sorry for the US as a nation when the governing body is full of shitbags in someone's pocket.
