U.S. Senator Rand Paul said he spoke to President Donald Trump by phone about healthcare reform on Monday and told the president he thought Trump had the authority to create associations that would allow organizations to offer group health insurance plans.

Co-operative like Hannity is always talking about for years
offer $50 per month per adult unlimited visits, cheaper tests, can’t go wrong.

Now if they let you bank your money in health savings accounts, and let you shop accross state lines if you go the insurance company route, we are talking real competition on how to go, real choice.

Stop the crooks in Washington from taking bribes from insurers and big pharma, and lets see the prices go down.

When I was a kid my folks were not rich but a doctor saw us for cheap, and did a lot in his own office, we were private patients.

Also, got to get the Lawyers off the Doctors backs, and let malpractice suits be for real bad doctoring again.

I’ve been following that. The medical corporations really don’t want that. As a society we seem to always march toward centralized control whether it’s corporations or government.

If you want to hear a good discussion about Obamacare, here is one that was released today. Between 2 people that study how America really works:

And here is Tim Kelly talking to a parent (April Boden) of a vaccinated child who became autistic. She has spent years researching the subject after noticing visible signs of brain damage after each vaccine set (this a must listen if you want to understand vaccines):

The action Trump should take is to rescind all of Obama’s executive orders granting wavers and extension to various special interest.

Obama Care would collapse of its own weight by the end of the year.

The Obamacare subsidies that offset the financial pain of O-care for congress were an executive fiat from Obutthead.

I’d like to see Trump pursue both remedies.

See folks, I’m glad that stupid skinny repeal crashed and burned. Now the conversation is moving healthcare over to the marketplace.

Imagine an employer being able to put in $500 (or more) a month into the employees Health Savings Account pre-tax which the employee uses to buy a health co-op membership in addition to a catastrophic coverage plan. The HSA can have unlimited money in it which stays with the person regardless of changing jobs. The health co-op are also allowed to buy medications from out of country (Canada) to get cheap prescription drugs.

How simple and easy is that?

It is simple and easy. Politicians are incapable of rational thought and lack critical thinking skills.

Just put an end to the couple of thousand sweetheart exemptions that Obama crafted with the unions and big business.

Then put an end to all exemptions for Congress, staff and Fed employees.

This is most encouraging to hear. A great idea. But we already know that the democrats will find some wayward judge to put a stay on whatever edict Trump declares.
