Repeal - Replace - Repair

     I wish everyone a happy 4th of July.  When our Founding Fathers declared their independence, they did not want government controlling their lives.   When they signed the Declaration of Independence, they were committing an act of treason which could mean being shot or hung.  They knew this would lead to a war that they didn’t know they could win. 
        If the revolution succeeded, one of their primary concerns was controlling the size of the federal government and the control it held over the people.  This has become a problem today.  Many elected Republicans and Democrats want to increase the control the federal government has over our lives, because increasing the size of the federal government increases their power. 
      Obama Care is a total disaster, but federal programs never seem to go away.  Donald Trump and the Republicans ran on repealing and replacing Obama Care.  I agree with the idea of just repealing it.  Repeal Obama Care and write a health care bill that makes sense later.  As I have said many times, we can’t fix a problem caused by medical insurance with medical insurance.  It just doesn’t work, and more government control has proven to increase the cost of health care.    
    The media and most politicians don’t seem to know the difference between health care and medical insurance.  They are two different things.  People can have health care without medical insurance, and many people have medical insurance, but no health care because of deductibles and co-pays. 
       The health care reform bill is on hold in the Senate.  I heard Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson talking about the problems with the bill.  He was clear and rational because he actually understands how insurance works and how it should be used.  It was refreshing to hear a politician who actually knew the difference between health care and medical insurance. 
        The current bill does not repeal or replace Obama Care.  It tries to repair it.  I thought this is what the Democrats wanted.  It is the best fix for Obama Care they will see, so why isn’t every Democrat in the Senate voting for it? 
        Democrats have to get over their hatred for President Trump and Republicans, and start serving their constituents.

        God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.
