It’s NOT your job, gentlemen.


Damn straight. It is NOT the job of the President or Congress!

And, Mister President, you can use your bully pulpit to encourage states and municipalities to create low cost clinics and free clinics, run as charities or with some help from local / state governments.

Repeal fedgov at all in medical care. Instead, focus on some basic USA laws for health insurance companies: they must sell across state lines, they must offer a low cost catastrophe plan, they must offer a high cost “sick people” (pre-existing) plan for the next five years. And of course for the banks, and tax laws, allow medical savings accounts.

President Trump, sit by the fireside and give the American people a little history lesson about what the constitution allows the fedgov to do and not do.

Also, ask Americans to provide for their family’s health. At the very least, they should all buy a low cost catastrophic plan for every member, in the next five years. Because after those five years, there will be no law mandating insurance companies to provide “insurance” for sick people with no insurance. It’s a crazy thing that will be gone in 5 years. Everyone should have coverage for their own sake, in case they get cancer or hit by a car. Or else maybe they won’t be able to afford to get well.

I think you presume that Mr Trump is capable of giving that informative fireside chat with the American people. I doubt it. And I don't say that as a pejorative. I didn't vote for him expecting a firm constitutionalist, rather to provide cover for the feckless Republicans to be courageous for a change, at the same time keeping the constitutional reins tight. Imagine my surprise (not) when the Pubs at the first sign of resistance opted for ACA Lite, rather than rubbing the Dems' noses in the mess they had created. So, to summarize​, the only ones interested in that fireside chat are those who are taking the heat for their principles. I doubt that the leadership plans on giving them a national stage.
