http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2017/03/08/meet-worlds-greatest-healthcare-plan-2017/98906516/

House GOP lawmakers unveiled their Obamacare replacement this week. But while it's a health care plan, it's not the "Greatest Healthcare Plan."

That honor goes to a proposal from Rep. Pete Sessions. The Texas Republican last week introduced health care legislation entitled the "World's Greatest Healthcare Plan of 2017," a proposal that, among other provisions, would eliminate individual and employer health coverage mandates.

They know he likes to say that everything he does is the greatest and bestest ever in the history of the world, so they figure he'll want to be able to say he signed the "World's Greatest Healthcare Plan."
