To the Editor:
Re “Senate G.O.P. Opens Fight Over Obama Health Law” (front page, Jan. 5):
Given that the Republicans in Congress have offered nothing more than the lies of their own manufactured outrage to justify the haste and glee with which they are about to dismantle Obamacare, their actions can only be seen as a final act of political retribution against a president they never accepted or planned to work with in good faith.
The fact that more than 22 million people may lose access to health coverage as a result of this act of political callousness only cements the perception that the Republican Party is a morally and ethically bankrupt party that cannot be trusted to govern or participate responsibly in our democracy.

Note from KBJ: Stop hyperventilating, Michael. Nobody will lose access to health coverage. It would be a public-relations disaster for the Republican Party and for Donald Trump in particular. More people will have health care in four years than have it today, and it will be cheaper than ever. Write it down. And in the meantime, stop being a dick.
