Mike Pence praises the free market and personal responsibility. You have the ability to buy a Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Rolls Royce in the free market, so stop complaining about your healthcare.

Likely the Dems will be blamed for the fallout by the right wing, and the media will "both sides it":

And to restore the revenue lost with the tax cuts on the rich, as the Dems cannot use reconciliation, they'll need a new law, that means 60 Senators behind it, and the House snd the Presidency.....

Congratulations, Hal! Nice
