Obviously Congress Republicans can’t (or won’t) get ‘repeal’ done. It’s an odd failure based on their pre-election rhetoric that Obamacare was strangling America’s growth.

Regardless, the only way forward is for the President to give his gutless GOP cover.

Obama himself set the standard. There are a great many executive actions that can be taken to neuter the Obamacare beast, and President Trump should begin the process.

(Along the way, he could have his HHS director redesignate poison-pill essential health benefits – EHB’s – that would drive profits right out of the insurance industry’s grasp.)

It’s clear Republicans in Congress don’t have the spine to stand with their President to do those things needed to get America back on the path to prosperity and growth.

He’ll just have to do it without them.

‘D’ needs to pick up his pen…and go on ‘O’.
