According to Stephen Colbert, the "Trumpcare" bill, which would leave 24 million people without insurance, "has a preexisting condition. Everyone hates it."

So, the GOP is attempting to salvage the bill's reputation by insisting it's just one part of a "three-bucket strategy" to overhaul American healthcare. Ah, yes. Buckets. Three mysterious buckets.

Colbert made a salient point, though, one that really gets to the heart of the matter: "With all those buckets, think of how much money you'll save on urns."
