Colbert: 20 Million Fewer Americans Will Be Without Coverage, Just Like Trump’s Inauguration Crowd

‘Republicans finally unveiled their healthcare plan — Then, out of force of habit, they voted to repeal it’

COLBERT: "Well, it's finally here. After six years of trying, last night the Republicans finally unveiled their healthcare plan. Then, out of force of habit, they voted to repeal it. (Laughter) Now, there are some things they're keeping from ObamaCare: Kids staying on their parents' healthcare until they're 26. Insurance companies can't discriminate because of pre-existing conditions. Grandma will still be murdered by death panels while Nancy Pelosi cackles from her skybox (Crowd booing) No cheer for that? Okay. Oh, there's one other thing they're keeping from ObamaCare: Nobody likes it. Conservatives are calling it 'ObamaCare lite.' Great taste, less coverage. While — meanwhile — see, that's the conservatives. Conservatives don't care for it. Meanwhile, Democrats are unhappy because experts estimate this will cover 20 million fewer Americans than ObamaCare. (Crowd booing) Pretty rough. 20 million fewer than Obama. That sounds like Trump's inauguration."
