The interesting thing to me about the Repub.'s AHCA is that, if enacted the way that it is now configured, it will result in killing off, literally killing off through disease and bankruptcy, the constituencies that support the current Republican party - white working and middle class women and men.
The party and it's leaders have become such a captive to money and ideological purists that they can not see that the lack of medical care embedded in the new structure is going to destroy the Reagan Democrats as a group. These are the people that have supported them for over 35 years and will allow them to rule for the next two or possibly four years. You would think that they would like to keep them around over the long-run, but they don't seem to care. This will inevitably end up in the Repubs cutting their own throats.
If it wasn't for the medical carnage that I see coming, I won't be sad to see them go.
