The Republican healthcare plan, TrumpCare, has fallen apart in the Senate, naturally. After 7 months in office attempting to govern exclusively on their own, Republicans have shown once again that they can't govern. They control the House, the Senate, and the White House. Repealing the Affordable Care Act is their primary goal and signature achievement. They can't do it. Why? Because the American people get in the way. They said ``no,'' and enough Members of the Senate have responded to that. But now the Republican plan looks like it is to simply repeal the Affordable Care Act with no replacement. It will take us back to a time where you could have an annual or lifetime cap and could not get insurance if you had a preexisting condition. Thirty-two million people would lose their healthcare coverage overnight. That is the Republican plan? We need to work together. We need to come together and fix the problems that we see and not make this such a partisan issue. ____________________
