And who will this health care be for?
Health care should be dealt with at the family or individual level. Employers shouldn’t have anything to do with it beyond paying wages. Government should only be involved as a payor/provider of last choice, and should be involved at the lowest level of government that can do the job. People got care before Medicare and Medicaid. I know, three generations of physicians in my family provided it. If we grow the general economy faster, instead of growing the government, state and local governments will have more resources to offer for the truly needed at tolerable tax levels. Gut the government and insurance health care administrative bureaucracies, the administrative staff physicians and hospitals need to work past them, and restore the individual physician - patient relationship. The above is even more needed than tort reform, although there are plenty of legal parasitic costs available to be cut as well.
