That is another 'fix' when the best thing for America would be for Obamcare to be scraped deep inside a nuclear waste ash heap.

I would like to know how Trump is going to micromanage all the deals he thinks he can make?

...and this is a new revolution? Contrary to what you may think, this is nothing new. This certainly isn't a new idea by Trump. The suggestion has been around for probably 20 years or more. Getting a bill/law to do something of this nature is the responsibility of Congress. There is no "presidential wand" to make these things happen.

Gee put the ‘best minds’ in a room gosh why didn’t anyone else think of that.

Then the really smart people could figure out what the rest of us will do.

Liberal SOP as outlined in Vision of the Anointed by Sowell, over 20 years ago.

Trump doesn’t believe in the market, he believes if top down mandated solutions. This is why his solutions will fail as liberal solutions ALWAYS fail.

Last year Medicare spent $143 billion dollars on prescription drugs last year. And Trump thinks he can squeeze $300 billion in savings out of that? It'd be interesting to see how.
