To the Editor:
Re “How a Health Care Bill Failed: G.O.P. Divisions and a Fed-Up President” (news article, July 19):
Here we go again with health care legislation! Einstein is credited with saying, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.” It is time, President Trump, to shift tactics and form an inclusive team to consider an improved approach to ensuring health care that builds on what we already have.
Trying to tear down an entrenched system behind closed doors won’t work. A bipartisan commission of senators and representatives, along with health providers, consumers, insurers and other high-stakes groups, and a one-year timeline to forge a new plan is what we need, not the “old boys” concocting a plan in isolation.
