Subject: Dayton Daily News Op-Ed

In today's Dayton Daily News, my Op-Ed piece on how President Trump can try to fix the health care system by tackling this huge issue in delivering health care, instead of repealing the Affordable Care Act.

You may have to increase the size of the page to read better, because DDN has a really strange way not to allow non-subscribers to access the articles in print.
Enjoy, and don't be shy to email back any comments.
As you may be aware, Doctors for America continues to fight hard to improve the Affordable Care Act and in the coming days, we may see a "replacement plan" from Congress surface and be certain that DFA along with other health reform experts will weigh in and analyze these ideas with a fine tooth comb.
Stay tuned, and there is no time to curl up in a fetal position

Now, through a series of interviews with the people of this small New England town, the true stories of that tragic day and its aftermath come to light in this powerful drama that asks, “How does a community endure the ultimate test, and what comes after the cameras and noise leave?” To purchase Buy One – Get One FREE tickets for Passport-eligible performances, call Ticket Center Stage at 937-228-3630.  Show your current Passport Card and photo identification when picking up tickets at the Ticket Center Stage box office. humanracetheatre.org Dayton Ballet Presents: Daring Duets Victoria Theatre 138 North Main Street, Dayton 45402 Thursday, February 9, 2017 at 7:30pm Friday, February 10, 2017 at 8:00pm Artistic Director Karen Russo Burke and Dayton Ballet bring an exciting new ballet repertory program entitled Daring Duets to the Victoria Theatre stage, celebrating the romanticism shared between couples.

A freewheeling tale of two women purchased from pirates by the Pasha Selim and their eventual rescue by their lovers, the work’s style is strongly similar to that of The Magic Flute, with even more death-defyingly difficult acrobatic singing by both of the women and the Pasha’s servant, the comically lecherous bass Osmin. With the help of their Spanish lovers, Belmonte and h s servant Pedrillo, the imprisoned women nearly make their escape, aided by two ladders and copious amounts of spiked wine. They are captured nevertheless. Fortunately, Pasha Selim shows his magnanimity, and the opera jubilantly concludes in a burst of dazzling high spirits as the lovers praise their selfless benefactor and prepare to set sail. It’s a sparkling trip you’ll be glad you made!
