Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) praised President Donald Trump’s teased healthcare plan, comparing its effect to the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.

Speaking on Tuesday after Trump said he would pursue his own healthcare reforms, dubbed “Trumpcare,” to replace Obamacare, Burchett gave the concept a positive reception. He suggested that the political affect of the plan could be seismic, reaching back millions of years for a proper metaphor.
