I know. It would be much more correct to call it the insurance industry's rebuttal to universal healthcare. (The conservative rebuttal to universal healthcare happened in 1993 when they declared a blood feud against Hillary Clinton for even suggesting the idea.)

No, the ACA was a rebuttal against the conservative position, which was to do absolutely nothing regarding health care. George Bush, around 2006: "Why do we have to do health care reform? Sick people can just go to the emergency room."

I'm not sure why you put those things in caps since you are wrong: the heads of departments serve at the pleasure of the president. This is why a new president gets to pick a new cabinet; they don't have term lengths or limits.

Okay: 1) Vance WAS the Peter Thiel candidate. There isn't a smarter, more sinister guy waiting in the wings. 2) The new VP has to be confirmed by a majority in both houses, so this the outcome depends entirely on whether Trump dies before or after the midterms.
