Health care bill will give government to Dems

The Republican House of Representatives' health care bill, if approved by the Senate, will insure that the Democrats win in 2020. The Affordable (Unaffordable) Care Act will be doubly unaffordable for seniors.

The RyanUncare Act allows seniors to be charged by insurance companies five times what a healthy young adult would pay. Considering the fact that about 50 percent of all health care expenditures in the U.S. are for senior health care speaks volumes of what is wrong in our health care (sick care) system.

The current health care system over medicates, over treats and over screens for the benefit of health care entities that benefit from the status quo. What is not recognized is that the American lifestyle of food consumption is not delivering healthy, nutritious food to the majority of Americans.

We have too many trace toxins and too little nutrients in the average American's diet. This is a basic driver of developing disease states. This has been documented by the Department of Agriculture which has ignored their own findings to improve the situation.

The rush to replace Obamacare was the insurance industry dream act by a major effort to improve the health of all Americans by delivering quality food to all.

Congress should identify why we spend twice as mush per capita for health care (and not even insuring all) than other countries and fix the problem. Then create a real health care system for all that doesn't benefit the greedy in health care.

We need intelligent men in Washington to speak out on the real negative drivers of our health care system and fix it. Otherwise in 2020, I'll vote for Bernie Sanders' one payer health care system.
