Stephen Colbert Obliterates GOP's Pitiful Obamacare Replacement: 'We're All Gonna Die'

After six long years, Republicans finally unveiled their replacement to the Affordable Care Act earlier this week. As far as Stephen Colbert is concerned, they could use another six.

"Nobody likes it," the "Late Show" host observed flatly. "Conservatives are calling it 'Obamacare Lite:' Great taste, less coverage... Meanwhile, Democrats are unhappy because experts estimate this will cover 20 million fewer Americans than Obamacare." 

"Twenty million fewer than Obama," he repeated. "That sounds a lot like Trump's inauguration." 

"Twenty million is a lot of people without health insurance," Colbert hammered. "I don't know anybody who would be happy about that."

Except maybe the Grim Reaper, who joined the host for a dance with death disco party.  

"Where was I?" Colbert asked once his guest had departed. "Oh yeah, we're all gonna die."
