Competition in the market is a good thing. Just look at the price of the computers we use, the cellphones, etc.

Having a CHOICE and the ability to buy a product from someone else offering a better deal is what our economy is based on.

One thing for sure...this bill from Paul Ryan was nothing more than another version of ObamaCare.
It didn't do one damn thing to bring down the actual COST of medicine and hospitals.

Ryan is just another lifetime/career bureaucrat stooge. Trump was foolish to try and put trust in him.
Or maybe not.
The political chatter now is that Ryan is damaged goods because he showed how ineffectual he was in getting his votes inline in the Congress.

That's a good thing. Now Trump can put Ryan in his place.

Trump today said that he wants to have the Democrats help him craft a new healthcare bill that they work on together that gives the US "world class healthcare" that is truly affordable.

That's what I 'm talking about. Trump campaigned saying that he felt he could work with the Democrats and cut deals with them. Schumer and the DNC said "hell no" right out of the gate (even though Chuck Schumer has been friends with Trump in "real life" for years).

Maybe this was a way for Trump to minimize Ryan and give the Democrats a way to work with him despite all the stupid "Fascist" and "Hitler" rhetoric that was thrown around by Hollywood and the media?

Isn't the bottom line that we all want GOOD things to happen in D.C. for the country?
