President Trump and HHS head Tom Price have many options on what to do with ObamaCare — most of them not likely to be needed as ObamaCare is collapsing nicely all by itself.
A deal has not yet been reached between the White House and congressional Republicans on the American Health Care Act, the bill intended to repeal and partially replace ObamaCare. Many Republicans have been unable to rally around the bill, asserting that it breaks too many promises made to the American people during the 2012, 2014, and 2016 election cycles.

The change has made an already widely unpopular bill even more so.

After watching the new documentary Vaxxed: From Cover-up to Catastrophe, it is easy to see why the establishment is trying so hard to make sure you never watch it. At the very least, the movie raises some extremely troubling questions that absolutely must be answered, as quickly as possible. If the experts, doctors, parents, and others interviewed in the 91-minute film are even partially correct, millions of lives are being needlessly destroyed, and the cost to taxpayers will likely reach into the trillions of dollars.
House Republican leaders on Monday unveiled their ObamaCare replacement bill, which conservative critics have already dubbed "ObamaCare 2.0" and "ObamaCare Lite."
