You are making some good points. everybody agrees the the US system is f...ed. But don't forget how this discussion started. You stated that Trump is addressing things and I am saying he has done nothing and will do nothing other than talking tough. That point still stands.

No, sorry, your point is vacuous. It is based on a lack of information and an obvious refusal to read the material I posted. You are not informed. OK, here, I'll post the list here. This list is not exhaustive. You can google each and every one of these and find further details. This is far, very far, massively far, from your idea that Trump has not achieved anything in healthcare. The exact opposite is actually true, what this administration has been able to achieve in this domain while being under absolutely brutal attack 24/7 on the part of the Democrats and almost the entire media is, well, nothing less than remarkable. He still has at least a year to go, some think he has five. I can only imagine what he would have been able to accomplish under more favorable circumstances. This political war has cost this country dearly. He has lists like this one in almost every domain affected by Federal policy. It's simply amazing. People don't know about it because the media are so incredibly biased and one-sided that they hide it all, they don't talk about it, they only focus on the hatred. And so it isn't a surprise that someone can actually believe that he has done nothing, despite all the evidence and documentation that shows otherwise. I mean, you can literally go dig-up the executive orders and read them. This is real. I hope you re-evaluate your belief system, because you are 100% wrong on this. You don't have to believe me, go dig-up the executive orders and read them. Everything below can be corroborated. No lies. You can still, as I, dislike his public persona, yet you can and should be honest enough to accept the fact that the results he is delivering are likely without parallel in modern US history. It's amazing. - The Department of Agriculture provided more than $1 billion in FY2017 to be used to improve access to health care services for 2.5 million people in rural communities. - The Trump administration expanded access to Association Health Plans (AHPs) allowing small business to pool risk across states. - The Trump Administration allows for Short-Term Limited Duration plans to be extended up to 12 months. - President Trump signed a six-year extension of the Children’s Health Insurance Program to fund healthcare for 9 million. Keeping CHIP is expected to save the Federal government about $6 billion dollars. - President Trump has mobilized his entire administration to address drug addiction and opioid abuse by declaring the opioid crisis a nationwide public health emergency - Trump created a bipartisan opioid commission that issued 56 recommendations to help defeat the opioid crisis - In October 2017, President Trump directed The Department of Health and Human Services to declare the opioid crisis a public health emergency, allowing grant money to be used to combat abuse - President Trump signed the International Narcotics Trafficking Emergency Response by Detecting Incoming Contraband with Technology (INTERDICT Act) that would give customs agents $9 million for screening tools on the border - In FY2017, HHS invested nearly $900 million in opioid-specific funding - Trump successfully pressured China to close dangerous loopholes that allowed Chines fentanyl manufacturers to legally ship the compound worldwide, much of which ended up in the U.S. - Under President Trump, The FDA has approved the largest number of generic drugs in history. - Generics increase competition in the marketplace and lower the cost of prescription drugs for all Americans. - In December 2018, year-end drug prices fell for the first time in nearly 50 years. - The Trump Administration issued guidance expanding options for individuals with chronic conditions. High deductible plans can now cover products such as insulin, inhalers and statins pre-deductible - President Trump signed an executive order to modernize flu vaccines and help protect more Americans by promoting new technologies to improve vaccine manufacturing and effectiveness. - Took executive action to strengthen Medicare and reform the Medicare program to stop hospitals from overcharging seniors on their drugs. - The Departments of Labor, Treasury, and HHS issued a final regulation expanding the use of health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) which will benefit more than 11 million people. - Created new insurance options though association health plans, short-term plans, and health reimbursement arrangements: some are up to 60% less expensive - HHS finalized a rule aimed at increasing transparency in the pharmaceutical industry that requires drug companies to disclose the price of medication in direct-to-consumer television advertisements. - Launched initiative to end HIV/AIDS in America. - Ensured Great Healthcare with initiatives to SAVE AMERICAN LIVES: $6 billion funded to fight the opioid, fentanyl, and drug addiction epidemic. - HHS Awarded $125 Million In Grants to 1,352 Community Health Centers Across All U.S. States, Territories And The District Of Columbia. - HHS Released A Tool For Medicare Consumers That Would Allow Them To Participate In Negotiating Lower Prescription Drug Prices. - Under urging by the Trump Administration, Pfizer and Novartis have agreed to voluntarily drop their prescription drug prices. - Passed Right-To-Try to give critically ill patients access to life-saving cures.
