Either way, if you want to read a quick 4-page primer on health care reform, here it is.  It’s appealing because it was designed to lure you into voting for Trump.  Unfortunately, once you’re in power, ceding that power to the free market is a tougher task than any president can accomplish.

President Trump should go back and demand legislators FULLY REPEAL ObamaCare and institute a concise version of this:
