My version of health care reform :-)
All medical providers change their billing...
Those with health insurance pay $1000 Those without health insurance pay $100
That simple step applied across the board would cut out the cost of all the health insurance skyscrapers and offices, all the salaries of
the health insurance workers, all the retired insurance agents collecting kickbacks on policies they wrote, all the long distance faxes and phone calls back and forth to get permission to treat patients, and so on............ It cuts out the red tape cost of the insurance companies.
I know, none of my ideas are popular......... but do the math.

It would take a dictator, though, to bring that off. Half the CongressCritters would want to give new tax breaks, half would want
to fight a new war, and half would find some new program to fund. Yeah, I know that there aren't three halves in a whole, but this is
my fantasy, dammit.
