Or you could use that money and give each and every legal person in the United States a 1 million dollar insurance policy to use towards their health care costs which would bear interest while not being used (just like the insurance companies do it!). Most people in america wouldn't even come close to going through that in their lifetime. It would be far less than a billion dollars to ensure every american. And for those that go over, you give them another million. So what. It's a drop in the bucket so to speak...
I'm not sure why we need to spend TRILLIONS when this approach would do just fine. Oh I remember, it's because the government has to create another massive trillion dollar beauracracy to make sure it's done "right". -----Original Message----- From: Vivec [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 11, 2011 4:36 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: So Ryan's Budget Proposal ... That really isn't much of a difference .. +/- 4%?? That's a key issue? For starters we could all spend 680 million on health related research and development to enhance end of life health and productivity, rather than spend it on bombing Libya.
