Comment on Anon lives on a budget
kandoh@reddthat.com 10 months agoFor some reason people thought if they used the Republican’s plan for healthcare then republicans would have no choice but to support it.
All that happened is they got a shitty healthcare plan and the Republicana had nowhere to go and nothing to offer as an alternative.

Also it turns out Republicans can oppose anything they’ve previously supported if they want. There’s no magical force that imposes consistency on them.

Fair, but I guess beyond that it’s worth observing that the Republicans specifically have moved away from their previously declared beliefs quite fully. The ACA is the quintessential market-based solution. The Democrats have taken over the pro-market position, while the Republicans have adopted something that is somehow worse.
