In 2017, Republicans failed to “repeal and replace” Obamacare. This was foreseeable, as Republicans running in 2016 on repealing Obamacare consistently failed to articulate the “replace” portion of this political rhetoric.

Such rhetoric caught up to Republicans in the House, Senate, and, yes, the White House — who represented the dog that caught the car. Ultimately their failure led to at least another six- to ten-year continuation of failed health-care policies made only worse by Obamacare, which even Elizabeth Warren can see is a disaster.
