If the thirty million uninsured were just added to the military or government health insurance programs that already exist, those citizens could be given basic health care, like that provided to our veterans, for $460 per family, or $230 per individual. Given an average family or four people, the thirty million could be covered with about, $3.45 Billion, instead of the 84.8 Billion proposed by the Senate bill.

I would much prefer that we cut the insurance parasites out of the health care loop and create an American National Health Service. An American Health Service would be the model for the rest of the world, much like our military and other national programs are. With health care as part of our infrastructure, American businesses could focus on producing high quality products and services. A collateral benefit would be that age and disability based employment discrimination would be greatly reduced, since employers would no longer be saddled with the cost of a particular employee with a high risk health profile.
