OK-Check this out: My health care solution (ta da!):
First- Draft all the docs into national service. (a la TSA). Give us all the rank of Colonel (or Captain). A good health and retirement plan. Base housing and a new BMW every 3 years would be nice, too. (ok a Chrysler!) New grads get the rank of Major with rapid merit promotions. Nobel prize winners in Medicine and true innovators can become 4 star generals (or admirals). Pay off all medical school debts. Nationalize all medical schools and make tuition free. Encourage innovations and and cost saving strategies. Reward then generously to incentivize. Increase taxes on all Republicans to 50% marginal tax rate to pay for the programEliminate for-profit health care corporations and the bonuses paid to the CEO's will fund the program further. Ration health care to the patients reasonably expected to survive. Standardize end-of-life care.
See....it's easy! Told 'ya so!
