Will you look at this picture of Congressman Jason Chaffetz please?

Would you look at his impish grin as he scoot-scoot-scoots his way to chamber so he could vote on the controversial American Health Care Act designed to “repeal and replace” the Affordable Care Act? Could anyone look giddier than Chaffetz in this moment?

Of course, he has a lot of drama going on right now, so the GOP member surely deserves a moment of joy. For one thing, he’s not running for reelection. For another, he’s being accused of having Russian ties. Finally, he just had surgery on his foot to correct a 12-year-old injury.

As the Salt Lake Tribune points out, the injury is a pre-existing condition. The AHCA will weaken protections for those with pre-existing conditions, so with reports that Chaffetz will vote in its favor, there is a little cognitive dissonance here, but hey! No big deal! Just look at that happy face!
