The repeal of the Affordable Care Act, aka ObamaCare, is now a fait accompli - conceivably as soon as January 21st, via the "budget reconciliation" process.
But where do we go from here?
To prevent what literally would be a humanitarian crisis, state and local governments, and private and religious charities, will have to do the right thing - and the latter two are especially key: Will George Soros, Tom Steyer etc. pitch in, by making massive donations to organizations like this - and will evangelicals prove that they are not slavish disciples of Ayn Rand and do their part? (You can bet that the Catholic Church, especially under Pope Francis, will take a strong stand on this).
If either fail, they will be exposed for all the world to see as the worst sort of hypocrites.
