Health Care: My Take
Re-designate all health insurance companies as non-profit.
Secondly, at some point after, I would like to see a government backed health care system based on the military complex. Create a branch of the services, independant from the armed services, that would over see instruction and training of public sector health care providers. After training the medical recruits would serve a tour of duty in the public hospitals after-which they could move into the private sector. This public health system could oversee and foster the creation of new diagnostic and surgical apparatus much in the same way the Department of Defense oversees the creation of new weapon systems. The purchasing power of the federal government would decrease costs to the consumers and allow for a greater reach of early detection. This would also allow for less beauracracy as many agencies could be culled while the remaining put under one roof.
