It looks like he will focus on Tort reform, Social Security privativation, and making the tax cuts permanent

That would be great! We need privatization of health care and Social Security --- I hope this is the directions he decides to go ----- start slashing government spending --- no new handout programs.

"On the critical issue of health care, our goal is to ensure that Americans can choose and afford private health care coverage that best fits their individual needs. To make insurance more affordable, Congress must act to address rapidly rising health care costs."

What I would like to hear would be a rational drug approval process from the FDA and meaningful limitation of awards in lawsuits to something reflecting actual damages, the reform of malpractice aimed at getting bad physicians out of practice and away from the multimillion dollar lottery, and increased competition from healthcare providers. What I am likely to hear is "New Deal Lite".
