“President Trump’s surprise escalation of his legal attack on Obamacare dropped a political grenade in the laps of congressional Republicans, who are now stuck with devising a viable alternative if the courts invalidate the 2010 healthcare law,” Bloombergreports.

“The problem for GOP lawmakers is the paucity of free-market policy ideas for health care that are politically popular. Obamacare’s expanded protections are now baked into voters’ expectations for insurance and patient care, and any Republican replacement would likely draw from the same proposals that ultimately led to a walloping in the 2018 midterm elections.”

1. If they offer up anything,

which I seriously doubt, it will be cheap junk policies and very expensive better coverage policies. And they will lie more than a Persian rug about how wonderful it is.

2. Really. Junk policies or 'liar, liar, pants on fire' health insurance that won't cover anything,...

still costs too much, and have high deductibles. Wow. The rump health insurance market. The cheapest health insurance policies guaranteed or it'll kill you (sarcasm).
