Juan Williams: GOP health moves set to backfire

Rush Limbaugh is not pleased.

Having failed to pass any major legislation in President Trump’s first 100 days, the GOP kicked off the president’s second 100 days by passing a massive $1 trillion spending bill chock-full of Democratic priorities, including funding for Planned Parenthood.

So, when Vice President Pence called into Limbaugh’s radio show last week, the king of conservative talk radio let him have it. “If this is what happens, Mr. Vice President, why vote Republican? What is the point of voting Republican if the Democrats are going to continue to win practically 95 percent of their objectives, such as in this last budget deal?” Limbaugh asked.

Top of mind for Limbaugh and other leading conservatives is the GOP’s failure, so far, to live up to its promise to produce a better healthcare plan than the Affordable Care Act — or, as they always put it, “to repeal and replace ObamaCare.”

House Republicans held 60 symbolic votes to kill the healthcare plan. Candidate Trump promised to replace President Obama’s program with a plan that gives “everybody” better coverage at less cost and to do it “very quickly.”

1. "...better coverage at less cost and to do it..."

Because six feet of dirt is so much cheaper than most other "coverage".
