Obamacare needs to be dumped ENTIRELY when/if Trump takes office. Sign it on day one and end it totally on Dec. 31. That will give his people an entire year to start over from square one. Put Ben Carson in charge and give him a staff of nothing but nurses at all levels. Market based, patient focused.

Declare again that it will cover EVERYBODY.

Doctors who graduated medical school after 1995 are bogus and only know how to dispense pills for Big Pharma and assist in the ongoing genocide. The majority of good physicians called it quits when Zero instituted the WEF Cabal’s DeathCare.

We need to drive a stake into this stuff that doesn’t work. Make them get butt hurt. Hillary started it under BJ and they succeeded 16 years later while we meekly counted on the voters to electoral react-gave us the house both times.

Grab the bull by the horns people. Promise a system that serves everyone as not everyone is covered now.

The democrats call for health care as a right and have the upper hand when it comes to their phony compassion. We’ll do it right with none of their input.

I’d start with the VA. Privatize it by turning it over to an HMO. Program EBT cards to subsidize only fruits and veggies.

A self employed friend of mine who lives in California came down with Covid last year, and she stopped paying into ObamaScamOcare because she couldn’t afford it. So anyway to make a long story short, the Covid was severe and led to other problems, a hospital stay and when it was all over they slapped her with a bill for $83,000 bucks. HELLO! Meanwhile they give free healthcare to criminal foreign invaders.

I recently had my yearly check up. It didn’t go well. My first lab appointment was washed out by the hurricane. A few days later the lab called and asked if I could come in for the test. I said I just had a big Waffle House breakfast, no fasting. They said come anyway. The blood and urine test results were awful. So my doctor typed and typed into my Obamacare chart. The only take away from this year’s checkup is that the Waffle House breakfast is bad for you.

Something’s gotta be done about the obesity epidemic. Any adult that’s fatter than their parents in this day and age is not taking advantage of all the knowledge that’s out there. Diabetes is 50% preventable.

Trump himself should go on a diet on Nov. 6 to doll himself up for his inauguration 10 weeks later. Lead by example.

Be advised that the democrats will be fighting us every step of the way because there will be no payoff for their people and interests. We’ll have to do it without them and squish them like a bug.

Obamacare is basically a payment system for care.

It does specify some care items, such as no co-pay vaccines and colonoscopies.

My docs spend most of our visits typing on the damned computer.

Getting an appt to meet a replacement doc takes six months.

That said, I’ve had two hospital visits in the past month and both were fantastic. One required an overnight stay and the other was in and out. Quick triage and immediate treatment with very good people and very attentive service.

A lot of “very sick people” have some very common ailments.

It doesn’t take ten years of post-high school education to learn how to treat them.

*Program EBT cards to subsidize only fruits and veggies.*
Better yet make them tax-free.

I’d go as far as to give away free rice and beans at the local food banks. A complete protein they can walk to get to. Just a little bit at a time to make sure the stuff doesn’t end up at the flea marts and garage sales. Tell all Americans to check their weight before these changes take place. The MSM will be no help but the Donald was a democrat most of his life so he’ll appeal to them if it’s effective.

Telling voters what they can’t have doesn’t win votes.

Fighting now in Congress to send middle-class income and property taxation cap constitutional amendments to the states would add the electors of several deep blue states to Trump’s total and make Congress turn deep red come November.

Agree you should see what they call Doctors office here in Los Angeles in some doctors offices they have only nurses treating you while the Doctor sits in his office in case they have questions.
And it goes down hill from there unless you go to a Beverly Hills doctor.

The two main questions at your “Annual Wellness” exam.

Are you suicidal?
(Only when I have to answer these stupid questions.)

“Do you want some shots?”
(No.)

A yearly checkup doing blood/urine tests would be ok and could be handled by a nurse who takes blood pressure and all the minor stuff where a doctor’s presence is unnecessary. People would know that the provider is taking a proactive approach, something not happening now. Looking at the computer? Ok give the doc a folder to refer to, something he can look down at. It’s silly but would work better.

I’ve got a friend who actually has insurance through her employer (although I’m sure everyone has seen how excessively crummy that has become). She had to go to the ER for a lung problem that turned out to be pleurisy. She was at the ER for four hours, and they took a CT scan. Bill came back for $13,000 and that didn’t include the bill for the scan. So right off the bat she’s responsible for almost $3,000 and is still waiting for the other bill.

I was thinking of a negative federal sales tax on good, modest cost food.

good = minimally processed, no added sweetness/sodium/fat/oil; fat under 11%

modest cost = under $2/pound, under $3, doubled for meat

People of Michelle Obama’s way of thinking might in the future easily limit federal food subsidies to such food.
