"We the People Healthcare" How President Trump Can Repeal & Replace Obamacare WITHOUT Congress

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

It’s time to repeal and replace Obamacare without Congress. It’s time for Donald Trump to do it himself, just like he’s accomplished everything else his entire life. 

It's time to admit the sad truth. Congress isn't on our side. Not even the GOP Congress.

Here are the facts: Obamacare is a disaster. It is destroying our entire economy. It the biggest tax and regulation machine in world history. It is the biggest debt creator in world history. It is the most lethal killer of full-time, middle class jobs in world history. And just as an aside- it is the worst thing to ever happen to our healthcare system too.

With all this destruction of our economy, it’s amazing to realize our DC politicians are so out of touch they can’t find a way to repeal and replace this Frankenstein monster that is killing lives, jobs and businesses. 

Have you figured it out yet? Most of the DC politicians are corrupt fools and tools, bought and paid for by lawyers, lobbyists, Big Pharma, health insurance companies and George Soros. In short, all the people and companies who make billions of dollars off the fraud of Obamacare own the politicians on both sides of the aisle, lock, stock and barrel.

How can President Trump drain the swamp, when the swamp is everyone in DC? 

Meanwhile the great American middle class continues to decline, while our economy teeters on the edge of complete collapse and catastrophe.

But I have the solution: "WE THE PEOPLE HEALTHCARE."

My idea eliminates the politicians. All of them. My advice to President Trump is to eliminate both Obamacare and Congress. Make Congress meaningless and insignificant. Go right over their heads. 

Here’s “Plan A.”

Call an “Obamacare Repeal and Replace Summit” in D.C. President Trump must bring together a group of the greatest business and medical minds in America. Not one of these leaders can be politicians, elected officials, or government employees. No politics. Just common sense. This group will include only visionary business leaders; common sense small businessmen and women; and doctors. Some suggestions: Steve Wynn, Sheldon Adelson, Silicon Valley high tech geniuses, the head of the Mayo Clinic, the heads of several small business groups. But no politicians. 

In short, the Obamacare replacement will be crafted by the kind of “citizen politicians” envisioned by our brilliant Founding Fathers.

This group of leaders and visionaries will agree to one simple rule: To stay in the conference room 14 hours a day for a week, until they’ve agreed on the replacement for Obamacare. President Trump will review and sign off on the final version. Whatever they produce in that room is the replacement Congress will vote on. Period. 

Congress now has a simple job: vote “YES” or “NO.” No amendments. No changes. No lobbying. No lawyers. No politics. All Congress gets to do is vote. They will have one month to review it and make their final decision. The American people will get the same month to review it.

This one month period gives President Trump time to work his magic. The President must campaign for one month across this country, just like it’s a presidential campaign. Just like Obama did to pass Obamacare. 

Donald Trump is one of the greatest pitchmen and salesmen in world history. He needs to set presidential travel records, criss-crossing the USA leading rallies of 20,000 to 50,000 at football stadiums and basketball arenas, to build support for the repeal and replacement of Obamacare.

Remember, this replacement was not created by politicians. It's non partisan. It’s “WE THE PEOPLE HEALTHCARE.” And the American people don’t have to “pass it to find out what’s in it.” They have a month to read it and understand it. And then to make their opinions known to their Congressman.

Then Congress votes. Simple. “YES” or “NO.” President Trump needs to make it clear that if Congress votes “NO” they are proving they couldn’t care less about the American people. If they vote “NO” all 535 should be fired. It’s a simple message: Voting “NO” is a political career ender.

Then we either have a full repeal and replace of Obamacare, or President Trump moves to “Plan B.” 

Here's "Plan B."

Simple. Take Obamacare apart line by line with Executive Order. Destroy as much of Obamacare as possible- without Congress involved. Basically, create a version of the “Presidential line item veto” for Obamacare.

Either way, it’s now time to go over the politician’s heads. It’s time to repeal and replace Obamacare without Congress or any of the DC political class involved. 

It's time for "WE THE PEOPLE HEALTHCARE."
