As a graphic popped up that read “Avoidable Care Act,” Colbert said Monday, “Just make it illegal for your doctor to tell you your diagnosis. That way, you’ll never need insurance as far as you know.”

Wait, Stephen, the GOP has tried how many times to vote away the healthcare system that happens to treat millions of Trump supporters?

Watch the whole takedown above.
