Quality, Affordable HealthCare Will Not Come From Trump

     Health care costs in the United States are out of control. As the number of seniors grows, the amount of money spent on health care will only increase. Both political parties need to start thinking out of the box. A single pay health care system needs to be considered.
       In third world countries, medical personnel generally receive low wages because there is an inadequate economic base to support them. In the United States, if wealth keeps going to health care, which is not a productive sector, although a necessary one, it will weaken the overall economy and put the United states at a disadvantage to other developed nations.
         Providing affordable, quality health care is not something that can easily be rushed into. The urgency to repeal flawed Obamacare and replace it with nothing better, or something worse, is folly. Both political parties need to think this out thoroughly and not be restrained by political ideology. Americans need quality, affordable health care. It is not achieved by political grandstanding.
          Regarding the president, who likes to tweet his two cents into the mix, people should remember that Trump promised affordable health care that is far superior to Obamacare. He boasted and made promises, but proved to be absolutely clueless. Hopefully responsible men and women elected officials will not follow Trump's lead.
