Five Health Care Reform
Solutions That Make Sense

  3. Encourage Health Care Savings Accounts (HSAs)
  4. End abusive medical litigation
  5. Cover the uninsured ...  without expanding American debt
  6. No Green card, no Band-Aid

You're two thousand pages too short, and it doesn't take a herd of lawyers to understand and a big union to implement... FAIL!

Those solutions also dont have a huge government program where you can lots of unionized drones you can count on to vote Democrat in every election.

Or ways they can siphon off money in massive fraud....

Sorry, but I have to disagree with your #5 "Cover the uninsured without expanding American debt" because its simply impossible. Taking my case to the extreme, if everyone said let's drop our health insurance, then who would pay for it? That's the problem we have today. Why not say, 'Cover the uninsured with charity donations only, until the money runs out. Then they're on their own for financing or signing an IOU similar to owing money to the IRS. The hospital can garnish their wages, SSAN, or estate and gets first priority until the debt is paid in full. If this sounds too mean-spirited, then lets hear your better idea - with the caveat that any ideas which take money from taxes or other government sources is not a better idea - it's just another mandated transfer (theft by majority rule).
