Affordable Care Act Replaced By ??

"We're going to have insurance for everybody"— the current inhabitant of the Oval Office, Washington Post interview, Jan.15 2017

The administration in the White House is racing to get the Affordable Care Act (ACA) repealed and replaced by end of April.   More than a few Republicans in Congress are not in favor of the plan being pushed at the American people.  Many demonstrations in town hall meetings have erupted from people who don’t want to see the ACA scrapped for something inferior and have their health care coverage put at risk.  Why rush?  Get it right.  Other countries have done it well with national health care systems that are derided by some as “socialism”

Day One - Inauguration

January 20^th 2017 – Inauguration Day.

Dow 19,819

NASDAQ 5560.7

Unemployment 4.7% (Not 42%)

Was there ever a more appropriate morning to fling your alarm clock out the window than January 20^th 2017?  Launch it, curse the day and roll over and go to sleep – for four years.  Hell I’m willing to bet that even the sun itself was trying to figure out a way to bail.  That day was, as we are all so painfully aware, Inauguration Day for the 45^th President of the United States – Donald J. Trump. 

It was the beginning of the next stage of a journey that’s lasted a good (or bad) 20 months.  Or as Jerome J. Garcia and his band mates once put it “a long strange trip.”  Yes the Trump stage show has been held over. "We're playing this lounge for 4 years folks. It's gonna be really great. Like nothing you've ever seen."
