Trumpcare

I'm not sure who comes out worse now that "Trumpcare" has seemingly gone down in flames - Trump or the Republican Party.  I think actually the Republicans - they couldn't even get the votes to repeal Obamacare even though they have the majority.  For the number of years that they have had to come up with a feasible alternative, they haven't.  American healthcare is a poisoned chalice, and it is amusing that Trump has hung so much of his reputation on fixing it.  I don't think it's fixable.  With this failure right after his immigration policy shambles, Trump's presidency has not got off to a good start - as one would hope!  Unfortunately, his petty nature will probably mean doubling down on something else equally unpopular to the majority - like rolling back clean environmental policy.
