The GOP’s
healthcare plan came out last week and, so far, it’s popular with everyone . .
. except doctors, hospitals, the insurance industry, patients, the elderly,
Democrats, Republicans, and — what’s the word? — mortals. Yeah. These mortals,
they need so much care. –Stephen Colbert
Yesterday, Speaker
of the House Paul Ryan went on “Face the Dickerson” to get ahead of the CBO
report: “The one thing I am certain will happen is CBO will say, ‘Well, gosh,
not as many people will get coverage.’” Well, gosh, not as many people will get
coverage, and gee willikers, I need chemo, and cheese and crackers, I can’t
afford to go to the doctor, and holy Toledo, I should’ve identified my next of
kin, because fiddlesticks, I’m dead!” Doesn’t sound so bad when it’s folksy.
Gosh. Golly! –Stephen Colbert
