This is how you bend the cost curve and create better quality of living (and not by simply throwing more money at it - which is a bizarre way to reduce cost in the first place) -
So the solution to the cost curve is executive order, not legislation. That's an interesting take on the role of government. We don't like the bicameral Constitutional process, we like the monarch process.
Monarch is putting it too kindly. Authoritarian is more like it.
You know how that works? All an executive order is in this case is to tell a Department of the government (which he oversees) to move toward proposing and implementing rules accordingly. And if you read you’ll notice the most pertinent quotes belong to Seema Verma who is brilliant. So, yeah. A program carefully researched and crafted by his staff (as HHS reports to him) has turned into a directive for them to implement. And you have a problem with that? Better we implement thousands of pages of shit in a vanity project that nobody had the chance to read and consider in depth nor had any chance to do what the purveyor claims it to do?
But beside that, ignore the actual action for your preconceived disposition. You’re actually criticizing help with kidney disease and streamlining organ donation. Lol.
So going to the issue at hand - do you disagree with helping people with kidney disease treat their disease more effectively, provide a better quality of life and ultimately save the system money? Or do you think this program won’t do that? Please opine.
If your point is about a very specific issue, kidney disease, fine. No problem. If you're talking about bending the cost curve of healthcare in this country, then no, EO is not the way to go about it.

No, and I haven’t read up on the particulars and think it’s premature to assume it’s going to do all the things that you claim. That said, I hope it’s successful but I was taking issue with the general idea of using EOs to get things done, particularly after the intense criticism from Obama’s detractors when the repub house and senate blocked him from pretty much everything and he had to issue EOs to get shit done. Seems this could have been part of a healthcare bill that Team Trump Treason campaigned on being better and cheaper than Obamacare. 9 years on and still no repub alternative other than going to court to kick people off of health insurance. Wonder how effective this EO will be when less folks have health insurance? Let’s check back in a year or two, yes?

Most of that would not be necessary if the US had a functioning, integrated health care system. You'll notice that the comments are about how to pay for the necessary care and how to revamp an outdated system, not any actual progress in care.

This is so amazing to watch. It's from 2015. "You know how to make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to hell." Crazy how Graham and so many like him knelt down and sold their souls after Trump was elected. How can they live with themselves?

When will the Radical Left Congresswomen apologize to our Country, the people of Israel and even to the Office of the President, for the foul language they have used, and the terrible things they have said. So many people are angry at them & their horrible & disgusting actions!

This isn't even about him anymore. He is 100% reflective of the dominant party and, frankly, is a reflection of what we are. That it's even possible (and, come on, it's probable) that he's going to win again, is all you need to know about America.
It's not about Trump. It's about us.

By allowing trump to take over the party and falling in line behind him, it really seems like this is a case where the Republicans were thinking very short-term and "won the battle but lost the war".

Trump's most openly racist rhetoric yet is not at all surprising. https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/14/politics/trump-racist-tweets-progressive-democratic-congresswomen-aoc/index.html
