When the tweeter-in-chief castigated Senate Republicans as “total quitters” for failing to repeal the Affordable Care Act, he couldn’t have been more wrong. In fact, they showed zombie-like relentlessness in their determination to take health care away from millions of Americans.
So where did this zombie horde come from? Who ate Republicans’ brains?
When they finally got their chance at repeal, the contrast between what they had promised and their actual proposals produced widespread and justified public revulsion.
Given this history, the Republican health care disaster was entirely predictable. You can’t expect good or even coherent policy proposals from a party that has spent decades embracing politically useful lies and denigrating expertise.
Democrats aren’t above cutting a few intellectual corners in pursuit of electoral advantage. But the Obama administration was, when all is said and done, remarkably clearheaded and honest about its policies. In particular, it was always clear what the A.C.A. was supposed to do and how it was supposed to do it — and it has, for the most part, worked as advertised.
Now what? Maybe, just maybe, Republicans will work with Democrats to make the health system work better.
Republicans have spent decades losing their ability to think straight, and they’re not going to get it back anytime soon.

New York Slimes = Grade “A” BS
Failure to repeal == taking away healthcare from millions of Americans
Republican healthcare disaster == that’s the Obama legislation that not a single Republican voted for
Obama administration was remarkably honest about it’s policies == if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor; you will save $2500 a year, you have to pass it to know what’s in it, etc.
It was supposed to bribe the insurance companies with guaranteed customers and subsidies, but eventually drive them out of the market leaving full blown socialized medicine as the "only option". And it was working as advertised until Hillary crashed like a 70 year old woman waiting for an SUV.
Who ate the brains? Most of them are Abby Normal
It’s good to see they let Paul Krugman out every now and then. I do hope these are supervised releases. We wouldn’t want him to hurt himself or anybody else.
Maybe the BLOB!

Then why was it not described as the precursor to what Ronald Reagan described so powerfully as "socialized medicine".
It continues to amaze me that Daddy pays over $50 grand a year to Princeton to allow Biffy and Buffy to be taught by total idiots like Krugman and Blinder,
We have a double barf alert going on here. First it comes from the NYT and then it’s from Paul Krugman; one of the most vile of all vile leftists.
Really? Krugman is an evil little toad who lies and fabricates as simply as he breathes.
“Now what? Maybe, just maybe, Republicans will work with Democrats to make the health system work better.”
Hmmm. Let’s see, back in 2009 no Democrats were working with Republicans on ACA and look what a piece of crap they delivered. So now that everyone acknowledges that the crap is stinking badly, Republicans are supposed to work with Democrats? Puh-lease. Surely the NYT must be joking.
K Street Lobbyist. GOPe like the money and have given the middle finger to those they were suppose to represent.
Krugman is a socialist Andre thinks the Republicans lost their minds??
Non-starter = Paul Krugman
