"This is the business we've chosen"

"This is the business we've chosen"...Hyman Roth, "Godfather II", 1974

On Thursday, House Republicans and President Trump celebrated taking

the first step to repeal/replace Obamacare.

But, what the public was not told is that the Democrat's government health

care system was being replaced with a Republican version.

As Roth said, "This is the business we've chosen" and its name is 
health care!

The looming question is one the public never was asked, "do you want a

government health care system?"

If the answer is yes, so be it, only make it work!  If the answer is no, 
than the Republicans have failed just as the Democrats did!

Consider how government got into the health care "business".  

It began with a 1965 amendment to Social Security, creating Medicaid

that provided matching funds to states for medical assistance to residents

who were eligible.  Medicaid targeted the most economically stressed

citizens.

Not so for senior citizens when mandatory government run health care,

Medicare,  went into effect in 1976, using contracted private insurers 
to administer. Seniors had not chose!

In 2010 the Affordable Care Act that required every citizen to have health 

care was born and the 'three legs" to run national health care was complete!  

Whether President Trump or any Republican admits it, the government
is now in "the business they have chosen".
