NEW HEALTH CARE PLAN: WHY DO WE HAVE TO ACCEPT it?

It used to be that this country always strived for excellence.  We wanted to be the best, to create the best and to have the best... of everything.  We were proud to be Americans because we epitomized what it is to be the best of the best.  

No more. 

Even Donald Trump is willing to settle for second, or third, or fourth best. 

It's all about this damned new heath care bill, the massive change in America that moved our health care decisions from we, the people, to them, the government... taking over one-sixth of our national economy with it.  And regardless of all of the ballyhooing by Ryan and Trump, that's the way it's going to remain under this new plan.  You know it and I know it.  

Trump and Ryan keep saying we can't let ObamaCare implode.  So, they're hell bent on preventing the Democrats from looking like the scallywags they really are.  It's not about creating a proactive and responsible bill, it's suddenly about saving ObamaCare from its inevitable disaster. 

That's one excuse.  

The other excuse is that the Democrats in the Senate won't allow the Republicans to pass the kind of repeal and new health care plan that Trump promised when he was running.  In other words, the Republicans are openly admitting to us that the Democrats are still in the driver's seat and that the Republicans don't know how to deal with it.  

So, folks, we're going to have to settle for less than best?  

Well, I don't know how this all sits with you, but I do know that "settling" for second best doesn't turn me on at all.  In fact, it's already starting to look as disastrous as it turned out to be the last time the Republicans controlled Congress and the White House. 

Ryan says it's his way or nothing. Then, let it be nothing.  I don't want another piece of government crap; I want the best. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
