For decades, if not longer, the United States of America, has been discussing, the best, most responsible / responsive way, to address the delivery of health care, to our citizens! Should quality medical care, be every American's right, and should it be considered, one of those inalienable rights, we expect, and deserve? A decade ago, President Obama, fought for his so – called, hallmark program, which was enacted, as the Affordable Care Act, and, popularly , referred to as Obamacare . It seemed, for a significant period of time, his Republican opponents, made overturning it, one of the principal focuses! Several times, during that period, the GOP attempted to overturn it, unsuccessfully, and, nearly, dramatically, did so, in 2017. When Donald Trump ran for President, he promised, repealing this program, and replacing it, with something, far better, would be easy, and he would achieve it, in a short period. However, promises and rhetoric, achieve little, without a clear – cut, viable solution, and he did not articulate a meaningful alternative. Once again, we are witnessing, the political version of football, where the President is offering his complaints and blaming his predecessor, while most of the Democrats, running for the highest office in the land, are chiming – in, with their personal opinions, etc. With that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, some of the options and alternatives, including: Idealistic; Pragmatic Idealism; Status Quo; or something, probably worse.
1. Idealistic: Several candidates have supported, what is referred to, as Medicare – For – All. The claims are, it would be fairer, less expensive (overall), provide superior care, etc. Their positions include: a) Everyone likes Medicare, so, this is the best course; b) It would reduce overall costs; c) It would be better for individuals; d) While there would be taxes, it would cost less, in the longer – run. They point to the programs, in other nations, and their successes. Ignored, in the discussion, is, today's Medicare is not free, either. We pay into the program, during our entire working lives, and continue, paying, after age, 65. It does not pay all the costs of health care – in fact, only about 80% of Part B / Medical costs. Most, then purchase a Supplement, and, when one adds all these components, up, it's obvious, it's not free! In addition, while physicians, presently, are willing to accept the reduced payments, involved with these reimbursements, for part of their practice, how many, might not, be willing, if it was their sole payments. With the escalating costs of malpractice / litigation, etc, and the many years (and dollars), it costs, to become a doctor, would this result in far fewer, physicians? In addition, since over 150 million Americans, receive employer – paid, health insurance, would they be willing, and happy, to have to pay this, themselves, now? We are being provided with estimates, but few, are apparently, thoroughly evaluated, to include contingencies, and ramifications! Would this, have the ability to be enacted, in the political process?
2. Pragmatic idealism: Should the goal, be, providing quality care, or, demanding a specific approach, without flexibility, or, perhaps, reality? Pragmatic idealism, would create, a goal, of providing, universal health care, combining a public and private options, and offering several viable alternatives / options! Instead of, being narrow – minded, and, saying, it has to be, My way or the highway , wouldn't it make more sense, be less disruptive (think about the hundreds of thousands, who are employed by private insurance companies) , and, desirable, to combine the options, and seek a meeting, of the minds? Wouldn't it, make more sense, to address the weaknesses of the Affordable Care Act, and improve it?
3. Status quo: With the stagnation, and congestion, and partisanship, occurring in our Congress, little to nothing, seems to be occurring!
4. Worse: President Trump's apparent solution is to offer, less expensive, higher deductible, more limited, health insurance? How is that an improvement? Isn't that, far worse, both, in the present and future? How about, those with pre – existing conditions, higher health – care costs, etc?
Wake up, America, and, refuse to be, lied to, and manipulated, by politicians, with a personal / political agenda, etc? Either, you demand, responsible leadership, or, lose something, needed, and necessary?

Trump Network was created through a merger between Donald Trump and Ideal Health. Ideal Health was started in 1997 and is based in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It is a supplement company that markets a urine test that is designed to determine an individuals metabolic trends and nutritional status. Based on the results of the urine test and the answers on a questionare, customers are provided with monthly supplements designed to meet their individual needs.
The Trump Network has given Ideal Health a huge shot in the arm since the Donald Trump name is very well known. New "Trump Network" members are blitzing the internet with marketing pitches about the "new MLM that is going to create more millionares" and people are joining in droves.
As a supplement company, Trump Network / Ideal Health is one of the better ones. The urine test (called the PrivaTest) was designed by J. Alexander Bralley of MetaMetrix Laboratory and the supplements themselves are created with very high quality standards. The PrivaTest has a cost of $ 79.95 and the monthly supplements retail for about $ 50 plus shipping.
With the home business marketplace overwhelmed by nutritional juices and supplements, the adding of the Trump name gives the company some "sizzle" that sets it apart. Many people have read the best selling books by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki that herald the benefits of multi-level or network marketing as a great way for people to start a business with low start-up costs and minimal risk. These books, combined with the excitement of having Trump himself talking about the business on major television networks, will enable many people to recruit people into the new, rebranded supplement business.
To succeed long term in the Trump Network, members will need to learn how to brand themselves online so that they can stand out from all of the other people pushing the Trump name. On Twitter, one can see hundreds of Tweets from people talking about this "revolutionary new MLM that is going to change the world." These people are largely using replicated landing pages which does not encourage people to join their team over anyone elses.
To avoid the inevitable attrition that will happen once people realize that the business requires that they sell a urine test kit and purchase vitamins every month, successful members will form teams that train and provide tools that allow individuals that create branding that adds to the Trump name . Failure to self brand and not using attraction marketing methods to bring people into the Trump network will only increase attrition rates and further sully people's opinions of network marketing.
