TRUMP "THE HERO"

If President-elect, Donald Trump, wants to be an instantaneous hero to over 90% of the American population, he should make this proposal. He should propose that medicare and medicaid be made available to all Americans. He should put together a committee of the persons involved in areas of medicare and medicaid to study how to make this proposal work. Once it is figured out, he should use his influence to pass it through congress.

What would happen if this proposal was enacted? It would do away with businesses having to provide insurance for their employees. This would free up a massive amount of time, money and effort that goes into providing medical insurance. The amount currently collected for medicare and medicaid would go up but most of the cost would be passed on to businesses. So now, small businesses would have their employees covered and would not have to worry about supplying medical insurance. Could this work? It does work in other countries (List of Countries with Universal Healthcare).

This is something that both Democrats, Republicans and Independents could agree upon. They would all want this because it serves the greater good. This would help control the sky-rocketing healthcare cost that appears to be out of control. It would help treat everyone and in the end, make life better for all of us. There are some negatives to this proposal (long lines, inadequate service, lack of choice, etc.). In the end, the positives (preventive treatment, pre-existing illness coverage, lower cost for medical service, etc.) out-way the negatives. This has been done. It's just a matter of America finding the best version of this and implementing it. If the President-elect, Donald Trump, were to pass such a plan, he would be a hero to many if not all Americans.
