Somebody with real balls would copy the ACA and introduce it as the Make Healthcare Great Again Plan of 2017.

It is real. What I'm not sure is whether it's *the* GOP healthcare bill or just some random Republican manchild introducing his own proposal.

The latter.

Well, it seems that the US will miss out on the World's Greatest Healthcare Bill then. Damn intra-party infighting.

So...when you're a steely-eyed successful businessman that knows how to seal the bigly deals, what do you do with:
1) a diplomat with a successful history as ambassador to China,
2) speaks Chinese, and
3) was referred to by the present Chinese leader as an "old friend of the Chinese people"?

Huntsman offered job of ambassador to Russia, White House official says


Ah.  Strategery!

Jon Huntsman called to see me. I said no, he gave away our country to China! @JonHuntsman

He gave our country away to China.  So now I'm sending him to Moscow.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

At least Trump is consistent.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I tried to look for signs that this is a hoax, and I failed.

Why would it be a hoax?

Because I would expect that a politician should be reasonable, and modest enough to realise that the bill he introduced would very likely not be the world's greatest healthcare plan.  For a piece of legislation, the title "world's greatest" should probably be bestowed by historians if said legislation can stand the test of time.  To give it such a title before it is even passed doesn't seem like the most sensible approach.  "Yeah, the World's greatest healthcare plan isn't even passed".

Apparently last year he proposed the World's Greatest Healthcare Plan of 2016.
