On the recordMarch 16, 2017
An editorial last week in the Post and Courier of Charleston cites ``GOP health bill a start,'' which provided accurate insight into how the American Health Care Act is the first step in a three-step approach on how to put patients back in control of health care. The editorial states: ``Any flaws not withstanding, it's an important step forward for the GOP to put a fully fleshed-out healthcare bill on the table. . . . But there is certainly cause for optimism that a tweaked . . . healthcare bill can at least bandage and begin to cure some of the festering wounds left by ObamaCare. . . . ``Republicans have a chance to make things right. They have a chance to help more Americans afford health care in a sustainable and responsible way. They have the chance to place more healthcare decisions in the hands of patients and doctors and fewer in the hands of government. ``The bill introduced on Tuesday is a first step in the right direction. . . .'' I appreciate the positive vision of Speaker Paul Ryan with President Donald Trump and his team of OMB Director Mick Mulvaney and HHS Secretary Tom Price. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism to defeat Islamic extremist terrorists. ____________________
