I've been travelling around Southeast Michigan giving Powerpoint presentations to various local groups, giving a rough overview of:
- The U.S. healthcare coverage situation prior to the ACA being passed (circa 2009)

- My list of suggestions to improve/strengthen/expand the ACA, and finally...
- Why the Republican plan (AHCA/Trumpcare) would be such an utter disaster
