Where are our thinkers?
Why is it that Americans’ public servants feel that we need better health insurance when what we really need is better health care. The problem is not that we cannot afford health insurance, the real problem is that we cannot afford to send our kids to “Doctor School”. The enormous costs of college has placed Americans at the mercy of the rich who can afford to stay in school long enough to become doctors, who know how much an insurance company will pay, charge that amount to the insurance company and the amount that they feel the customer can pay, again to the customer.
One idea is to use Americas assets to save taxpayer dollars while improving healthcare and fixing other agency problems such as HUD, and the VA.

What if, just what if, America had a doctor school? HUD and VA have suitable structures for rural clinics in every tiny town in America that continue to sit vacant after foreclosure. The DOD has “warmed Based” some of the finest training facilities that the world has ever known. Military doctors, contracted and active, have become some of the most efficient and experienced surgeons in the entire world. It is unfortunate that they received the experience through combat duties, but none the less, they have seen cases and tried procedures that could not have been simulated in any classroom. Why not turn this experience into education?

I believe that the Government would benefit by making health care a free public service, free education to the students, not unlike West Point or Annapolis. Graduates could repay their country and the taxpayer a commitment of public service by serving in the military, VA hospitals, or the multitude of Civilian health clinics which were vacant foreclosures causing the housing market to fall further and would not be sold until they were not worth saving. DONE WITH MEDICARE and DONE WITH MEDICAID! TAXES CUT!!!

Also, the next step would be prescription drugs. The only difference between chemical weapons and prescription drugs are the ingredients.

It is highly feasible for this to become reality. It is more realistic than to believe that Doctors, Lawyers, or Insurance Companies have any compassion for the sick.
