First of all, the government has no idea what will work for the common citizen. They haven't been in touch with that population for a very long time. Congress and the Executive branches want to be taken care of at the expense of everyone else. They actually think they are better than the common citizen.
We need to fire the government and start over. Fire every last government employee and start from the ground up basing it on the original Constitution. Not the liberal amended version we have now.
For health care, a universal health plan is a horrible idea. The VA is the template that they are looking toward to design the plans. I can tell you what you will get. I have had a herniated lumbar disc since last November. My condition has gotten worse over the last few months. I have had civilian doctors that have suggested I was a very good candidate for spinal fusion for more than one disc. At the rate the VA is moving I will loose the sense of feeling in both legs permanently before they do anything to that makes a difference.The only way the VA will move faster is if my condition becomes life threatening. If every citizen got the same quality medical care as the VA gives the population would be much smaller. The VA is under staffed, and under funded. All hospitals will be faced with those hurdles under any government plan.
Congress can shove this plan where the sun doesn't shine!
Congratulations. You got your "Change".
