typical master matthew trying to further his leftist agenda...smh

I don't get how anyone can defend the GOP regarding this. They've been complaining about Obamacare for like 8 years, trying to gut it and repeal it and whatnot, and never even had a solid replacement plan. At the very least they shouldn't loving repeal the only healthcare system in place if they aren't going to immediately replace it with something else.

well
technically they couldn't
it wasn't that they didn't exist, it's that they couldn't agree on stuff for years because decent chunks of republicans were moderates who thought the more severe healthcare bills were too extreme while we had the super far rights who thought the more moderate bills (obamacare lite as some of these forumers like to call it) were too tame.
the voterbase was the same way, super far right republican voters and moderate republican voters.
democrats deal with the same divided stuff too but it wasn't really on healthcare, it was on SJW bullstuff. you had the moderates who believed that gender identity (we're talking about past the realm of transgender here) was bullstuff and you had those who believed hardcore on gender identity (see hillary)
there is obviously other stuff like religion also playing a role in making bills harder to pass but the 2 i listed are the 2 big ones.
when it comes to stuff like the above: the other party is just incapable of getting stuff done decently because of the massively conflicting views. damned if you do damned if you don't, best option is a compromise which usually doesn't happen. especially on healthcare.

In this case, the best option is objectively single-payer universal healthcare.
