It's fun seeing the GOP fuck themselves over with their own infighting, it will be so ironic that it is the Tea Party wackos who end up saving the ACA. Your side had 7 years, SEVEN YEARS, to come up with a decent alternative plan and work out a compromise between the different factions in your party, but nope.
The GOP is the dog that caught the mail truck, and now the truck has run over the dog.
They had a plan and it was to repeal the ACA entirely. Actually, short of repeal this is one of the best things that could happen for them since the ACA is in the process of collapsing. By not passing Ryancare the Dims still get the blame since they are the ones that created it.
