Internet quickly turns GOP's Obamacare replacement plan into a meme

The Republicans unveiled their healthcare plan on Monday night and it's looking like a weak replacement for Obamacare. 

It defunds Planned Parenthood, rolls back the Medicaid expansion, restricts abortion, and lets insurers jack up premiums by 30 percent if there's a lapse in coverage. Oh! And there's a big tax cut for CEOs making more than $500,000 and a weirdly specific ban on lottery winners getting Medicaid.

Needless to say, people were not impressed, and they responded with the internet's greatest tool for self-expression: memes. 

Considering a few factors — the Democrats hate it, some conservatives think it's too generous, and Republicans haven't revealed how much it would cost or how many people would lose coverage —there's a chance the bill might not pass. 

Even if it dies, at least it inspired a pretty great meme.
