    Why not create a National Health Insurance Plan that can operate at a profit?
    National Health Insurance offered to ALL Americans on a sliding scale.
    Low-income Americans pay zero premiums or co-pay.
    Middle-class pays discounted premium/s or co-pays.
    All Americans can choose to opt into Federal Insurance or buy own private insurance.
    All doctors/hospitals MUST take Federal insurance plan.
    Caps set on reimbursements to doctors/hospitals to prevent exploitation.
    Strict auditing procedures to eliminate corruption.

    DEMAND a VOTING NETWORK so that you can vote on REAL issues, NOT on what parasite gets to such your blood. Current people in power will NOT allow citizens to vote on issues since they are making huge profits off the statuesque. People MUST demand change by NOT voting in elections, thereby forcing the government to let citizens vote on issues that the current government WILL NEVER allow. Such as:
    -Financially independent government (NO TAXES)
    -Laws (no politicians)
    -Crime (no lawyers & judges)
    -Foreign Policy (no diplomats)
    -Who owns non-renewable resources (the most greedy or everyone)
    -Copyright laws
    -Environment protection
    -Government Income
    -Government Spending
    -Home mortgages
    -Honest Government
    -Less paper work
    -One government (no national, state, county, and city – just the voting network)
    -Standards
    -Unemployment
    -War (sending soldiers or bringing them home)
    -Get paid for reading SPAM & JUNK mail
