Keep health care reform simple and it will produce the greatest economic stimulus ever for our country, while assuring good health, and freedom from the crushing expense and hassles, which are being endured by so many individuals and business, poorly served by our current system.

Health care reform must be paid for.

The cheapest way to collect the money is through a national sales tax, and not by forcing people and companies, to purchase questionable insurance, to pay for services in a system with bloated costs, that has failed so many.

Collecting gas taxes at the pump is how we pay for highways, roads and bridges so we can efficiently move around our country.

Collecting a national sales tax is how we can pay for free health care and medications, which anyone could receive, at any government owned and operated hospital or clinic, anywhere in the country.

To control costs, the cheapest, most efficient, best outcome producing, delivery system would be through government owned and operated hospitals and clinics, operated as a civilian VA style system, that would deliver all government funded health care.

Businesses that choose public care for their employees will have no financial obligations or any other responsibilities concerning health care.

A robust private health care industry could thrive serving patients, who would prefer, and could afford to pay for private care, which operations were not burdened with costs from indigent, preexisting conditions patients, or a load of government mandates.

Ask OMB; how much this dual choice, public or private system, leaving no one without care, would save annually from the $2.5 trillion now spent, and what will this combination health care and stimulus package do for individuals, businesses, and the US economy?
