An elephant in a suit and with a marker in its hand says, “We finally have a new plan to replace Obamacare!” There’s a sign over the elephant’s shoulder where he’s made edits to The Affordable Care Act with the black marker. The sign now reads, “The Unaffordable We Don’t Care Act* *If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.”
