Bring back traditional indemnity plans, and get them away from the employer provided concept where premium costs are hidden. Allow people to band together to form small groups to purchase insurance. Make ALL health care related spending a TAX CREDIT. Provide incentives to faith communities to help the indigent. Establish means testing for Medicare eligibility, and create means-tested free clinics in low income communities.
I agree with all except the means-testing for Medicare. If all are forced to pay into it their entire lives, it should be given to all. This sounds too close to what the Dems will try to do: means testing for SS.

It might not be fair, but it is simply a fact of life. There isn’t enough money in the country to pay for everyone’s SS and Medicare.
