Remove profit from Medicare too so everybody gets their meds for $10 a scrip instead of two or three hundred a month for some drugs. The Medicare bill that got pased in 2006 had over one billion dollars change hands just in lobying fees. Those fees allowed healthcare corporations to physically write the legislation, guaranteeing them massive increasing ongoing profits. Tear it up and let a single payer buy all meds, then everybody only pays a few dollars a scrip.

So that's the economy, healthcare, pensions, radical Islam and terrorism all solved.
Sounds great, but how the hell you gonna sell that to DC?
