Let's try the Republican health care 'plan' on Congress as a pilot first. Stop their government-issued insurance plans and send them each a "set amount of money" or an equivalent tax credit to purchase health services as they see fit.

We just got back from five days of driving through West Virginia, from all around the New River Gorge in central WV to Mingo County and Matewan in southwest WV, then north to the interstate and on home to Cleveland. Gorgeous country, but no Trump signs.
