Here are three amazingly simple ideas that Donald Trump can use to beat Hillary and make America great.
My name is Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, and it looks like it's going to come down to Donald Trump versus Hillary Clinton.
And in no way am I hiding my opinion that, in that case, we've got to defeat Hillary Clinton.
And that means a vote for Donald Trump.
So here are three simple ideas, amazingly simple ideas, that almost all Americans would agree with, including Americans on the left, even the radical left, but also Americans on the right and centrist Americans and libertarians and everybody else.
Three amazingly simple ideas that Donald Trump can use once he gets the nomination, assuming that's the case, that he can use to win the general election.
Three things that Hillary Clinton will strongly oppose, but almost every American will be in favor of.
And Donald Trump can get behind all three of these and easily, easily win the general election.
Here they are.
Number one, legalize medical marijuana and industrial hemp farming nationwide.
It's so easy.
All he's got to do.
And by the way, this is his belief, at least from my perception so far.
I don't think Donald Trump has anything against legalized medical marijuana.
And the question is, why is hemp farming illegal in America when we're importing hemp seeds and hemp oil and hemp material for textiles from countries like Canada?
Legalizing hemp farming in America is the perfect example of Donald Trump's Make America Great Again philosophy.
Let's empower American farmers.
Why is hemp illegal to grow?
Especially when there are so many industrial uses for hemp that have nothing to do even with smoking marijuana.
You can have hemp oils, hemp seeds for nutrition supplements, for the cosmetics industry, for pet food and animal feed, hemp proteins for health-conscious bodybuilders and vegans who want a good quality protein, hemp material for textiles and industrial uses.
Hemp medicines for prescription drug alternatives that replace opioids and make pain-killing medications affordable for people who don't want to take big pharma's overpriced, monopoly-priced drugs?
Hemp is the miracle plant.
And why is it illegal?
Well, Donald Trump can offer to legalize it, and boom, immediately he gets the vote of the left.
He gets all the hemp people on the left, and it's a huge contingent on the left.
And believe me, Hillary Clinton's not going to come out and support hemp farming and all this because she's already been bought out by all the industry people.
She's already been bought out by, you know, the Monsantos of the world and the drug companies and just all the industrial giants.
So she's not going to go for that, but Donald Trump could.
So that's number one.
Very easy.
Legalize medical marijuana and industrial hemp farming nationwide.
Second thing Donald Trump could do is promise all Americans, and this is hugely powerful, promise all Americans a 50% cut in their prescription drug prices through free market principles.
Not price controls, which is what Hillary Clinton wants to do, but by forcing drug companies to compete through a bidding process to compete for government contracts.
Again, this is a free market principle.
And in fact, Donald Trump has already spoken about this.
And on one hand I can say it's brilliant, but on the other hand I can say it's common sense.
I've been promoting this for many years.
Let's force big pharma to compete for government contracts instead of just allowing them to set whatever monopoly prices they want.
Which makes prescription drugs totally unaffordable to everybody in the country.
Families are going bankrupt.
Businesses are going bankrupt.
Municipalities are going bankrupt.
The pensioners who have health care plans covered by cities and state governments.
It's all unaffordable.
And Obamacare, all it did was force you to buy into a system that forces you to pay monopoly prices.
It doesn't make prices overall any more affordable.
The only way it's affordable for people on the low end of the income spectrum is because it's being subsidized by the people on the other end who are paying sometimes $15,000, $20,000 a year for basic coverage for a family with a super high deductible that they can't even afford.
So all Donald Trump has to do is say, look, elect me and I'm going to make your prescription drug prices slash by 50%.
And he could through competitive bidding.
And that right there is a huge issue, especially for senior citizens who tend to vote a lot in America.
A lot of senior citizens, they have fixed incomes.
Most of them do.
And then they have huge bills each month on medications.
Sometimes their fixed income might be, let's say, $2,000 a month.
You know, from Social Security and other sources.
But then their medication might be $600 a month.
Or $800.
Medication can be a third or more of their entire monthly income.
And it's killing these senior citizens and veterans alike.
All Donald Trump has to do is say, look, we're going to cut your prescription drug prices in half if you'll like to be president.
So immediately, boom, he's got all the elderly vote.
Now that's on top of the vote of the entire hemp industry and the people on the left who want legalized medical marijuana.
And by the way, this doesn't mean legalized recreational marijuana nationwide like Colorado, which has become pothead central.
I'm talking about just legalized medical marijuana or hemp oil with the CBDs plus the THC in liquid form.
Not smoking it all the time, but making it available, legalized in liquid form, which can be extremely helpful for cancer patients and seizure patients, epilepsy, dementia, Alzheimer's, all kinds of conditions, and of course pain control in people who have chronic pain.
Alright, so those are two ideas.
Here's the third one.
The third amazingly simple idea that Donald Trump can use to beat Hillary and make America great again.
And it also has to do with healthcare.
And it's simply this.
Legalize healing.
In other words, legalize complementary and alternative medicine.
And...
This is what's gonna really get the vote of everybody on the left.
Provide government vouchers for healthcare that every citizen can use to shop around and spend on any healthcare service they want.
In other words, it's a hybrid between a free market and a single-payer system.
It's a hybrid.
The government, in essence, provides each American a monthly voucher, kind of like a food stamp card, but it's a health voucher.
Let's say $500 a month for each person in America.
And you might think, well, gosh, that sounds socialist.
That sounds single-payer.
But wait!
Each person gets to decide in a free market environment where they want to spend that $500 per month.
Do they want to spend it on overpriced drugs, or would they rather get nutritional supplements that prevent disease?
Do they want to go to their overpriced, arrogant doctor that's part of their HMO, or would they rather go to a naturopath that actually prevents disease and lowers costs in the long term?
You see, by putting a voucher into the hands of the people, it allows the people to shop around for services that work.
And if you tie this into a national database of accountability, in other words, every time someone spends money on their card, they get to go online and vote for the quality of the service they received or the effectiveness of the service.
Then you're building a national database of what works in medicine.
And if you open it up to alternative and complementary medicines as well, then you're creating essentially like a nationwide Yelp database of medicine that is a map of what works and what doesn't work and whose systems are most effective, who's getting the best results.
And this creates competition for prices, meaning that hospitals and doctors and cancer clinics would have to start competing in the free market instead of just billing Medicaid or Medicare, any amount that they invent.
They would have to actually be responsible.
They would have to compete in this marketplace where the person is shopping using this voucher.
And you could have higher voucher amounts for older people and younger...
I'm sorry, lower amounts for younger people because older people tend to spend a lot more money on healthcare.
So there are ways to make this fair for everybody across the board.
And if you're wondering how you're going to pay for that...
It's super easy.
You just have the central bank print the money because they're doing it anyway.
Yeah, you don't even need to raise taxes to pay for this because taxes have nothing to do with how much money the U.S. government is spending anyway.
We're $19 trillion in debt.
You're not going to tax your way into paying off that debt.
The U.S. government has been creating hundreds of billions of dollars every quarter in new money to pay out to the banks.
Well, Donald Trump could come along and just say, hey, instead of paying that out to the banks, let's just give it to the people in the form of health care vouchers.
They can go out and buy gym memberships, massage therapy, naturopathic medicine, dietary supplements even, or medical marijuana.
They can buy any of these complementary and alternative medicines, or if they want, they can blow all their voucher on prescription drugs, overpriced chemicals that don't even work most of the time, but you let the consumer decide.
And it's paid for by just creating the same money that they're creating anyway.
Instead of giving it to the banks, you give it to the people in the form of vouchers.
That's your healthcare system.
So these three ideas are so amazingly simple and powerful, and I believe that Donald Trump could suggest these and easily win the election against Hillary Clinton.
And just to review, they are, number one, legalized medical marijuana and industrial hemp farming nationwide.
Number two, promise a 50% cut in prescription drug prices by requiring drug companies to bid competitively for government contracts.
And number three, legalize complementary and alternative medicine and provide government vouchers to everybody in America that they can choose to spend on whatever health-related services they want, products or services, and then have a nationwide database of accountability so people can vote on the effectiveness of the service that they just bought with their voucher.
And you pay for the vouchers by taking the money that you're creating and giving to the banks anyway, but instead of giving it to the banks, you give it to the people.
So simple.
Doesn't require a single dime of new taxes.
Everybody benefits.
And Trump's got tons of his own ideas, by the way.
I don't mean to presume that he should use these three.
I'm just giving you examples.
This country is, it's like a rich, what do you say, there's all kinds of low-hanging fruit of great ideas that could be used to turn around America.
All Trump has to do is pick his favorite ten and put them out there and say, look, it's time to make America great again.
We're not going to do business the way we used to where everybody's screwed all the time by bad government.
And bad economics and mandatory, you know, Obamacare programs where they put a gun to your head essentially and say you have to buy into this system that doesn't work and rips you off.
Obama has put us in a bad situation and Donald Trump can pull us out of it and give us an option that can actually work.
Because he's that kind of guy.
He's got business experience and he's very intelligent and he's willing to rock the boat.
That's why if it comes down to Donald Trump versus Hillary Clinton, there's no question Donald Trump has my vote and he should have yours too.
