MUSINGS DURING AN ERA OF DECREASING LIBERTY

Congress (and Voters) should hold Trump to his Health Care Campaign Promises

Do you remember what Candidate Trump's Healthcare Reform Plan looked like?  I'll remind you that it was glorious.  It was as if his campaign consultants hand-selected numerous Libertarian, free-market policies and listed them out in bullet points. 

Anyone who has read Economics in One Lesson, or passed any Econ101 course cheered it. 

Unfortunately, it's long been forgotten.  Of course it would necessarily be better than the current tripe which is funded by millions of dollars worth of insurance company lobbyists and currently debated on the Senate floor, but we won't even hear its merits debated in a public forum.

Our legislation process has devolved intoyelling down one another with more and more politician's talking points.  "Millions will Die" is obviously all that is needed to be said to defeat any change to the ObamaCare disaster.  Not worth mentioning is other politician talking points such as "The average American Family will save $2500 annually under ObamaCare" and, of course, "If you like your doctor or plan, you can keep your doctor or plan."

reliable and cheaper products.


Either way, if you want to read a quick 4-page primer on health care reform, here it is.  It's appealing because it was designed to lure you into voting for Trump.  Unfortunately, once you're in power, ceding that power to the free market is a tougher task than any president can accomplish.

President Trump should go back and demand legislators FULLY REPEAL ObamaCare and institute a concise version of this:
