On that note, let me give my first opinion on the health-care debate — along with some advice for the Republicans who are now embarrassing themselves trying to repeal ObamaCare.

This is thinking big, but I’ll put it in the small space I have left.

Americans need to be able to get affordable health insurance. Medicare already gives that to people over 65 years of age, a group of Americans who are unable to pay a lot for insurance but most likely to need and use expensive health care.

And while the medical profession may not love it, insurance companies are falling all over themselves trying to get into the Medicare game by providing so-called replacement and supplemental policies.

So this system must work well enough for both the insurers and the customers.

And that’s mainly because Medicare already has buying power with millions upon millions of customers.

Medicare is already 52 years old, so it has a history of success.

Build on that.

The Democrats and Republicans should act like adults and come up with a way to expand Medicare to everyone at an affordable price.

Scrap Medicaid, which is provided through the states at a huge cost.

Can’t pay anything? The sheer number of Medicare enrollees under my expanded plan will make it easier to cover you.

Argue over the financial details of this Medicare expansion later. But agree now on what needs to be done.

Call it Medicare Part O if the Democrats insist on keeping the Obama legacy.

Or call it Medicare Part T if the Republicans want Trump’s initial on it.

Even call it Medicare OT to satisfy both — as well as to indicate how long this debate has been going on.

Name it anything you want — just get the damned health-care debate finished before the healthy people in the country get bored to death and the sick people die from lack of medical attention.
