Painting break ( any excuse hate painting ) Well now the transfer to corporations on anything, yes / no. Here is the kicker.........ah let me try this.

Medical. What if,
If provided by employer it becomes wages and you do not loose them. Right now those who buy there own get screwed over as my union ins was not wages a bit unfair those who pay from the packet.

All pay in whatever it damn well cost. Breathing is a right and you can stop breathing if you can not get a doctor.

BUT you have the option of a private company or public. The kicker is simple the Ins would have to be standardized nation wide, you could only change providers once year, basic rules to keep ins companies from cherry picking, and some sort of arbitration process so a patient could get after a provider. If the policies and rates are standardized then the only way to maximize profits is by attracting more paying customers. You provide a poor product ( ins policy & service ) then nobody will stick with them.

Despite all the BS from R & D's this screwed up system is of both of their making. Return control of your choice to you and all the government has to do is set the standards, collect taxes for it, and disperse the funds to the states. Frankly steps to insure it is not admin-ed to death would be needed.

Almost forgot. Everyone loves to cut military spending. We have done that over and over again in the history of the nation. The fundamental flaw is that well over 50% of the time it left us vulnerable and actually increased the likelihood of war. FDR violated more laws and absolutely lied to the nation in the years prior to WWII as we built up a military that was in bad shape. You can argue these points forever and both be right.

Here is what is also true. Many millions could be saved by closing bases, getting rid of some weapon systems ( Trident boomers for sure ) getting our troops out of Europe, Asia, wherever and simply maintain Rapid D bases, hell the list is huge. The problem here is THE DAMN CONGRESS which immediately screams jobs / politics and makes a mess out of things. The military is necessary but costly and Ike was blunt in his warning when he was prez.
