I agree with a majority of your points except for the fair tax and Social Security. First, the fair tax is not fair. The wealthy do not purchase more than the middle class in terms of real goods. Therefore, as a percentage of income – the middle class will be forced to pay more. The “luxury” goods that the really wealthy can afford will be bought – as many are now – in countries that have little or no taxes on such items. And, as always, the wealthy will find loopholes in the system to avoid paying taxes.

Social Security – as Al Gore noted in 2000 – should stop being raided by both parties to pay for other line items. The fund would be solvent for a much longer time. Also, people earning over $200,000 should not be collecting Social Security. It was meant as a program to keep the elderly out of poverty and not as a primary retirement plan.

I do agree that young people need to be taught how to handle and invest money at a much earlier age – and hopefully by the time they retire they would earn too much to qualify for SS.

For example, one friend – a chiropractor earns too much to qualify for certain tax breaks on his student loan because he earns too much. Yet, he does not live extravagantly – he lives in a condo but the cost of living – and ironically – health insurance keeps him from really getting ahead. And he is a professional.

What about the majority of Americans who earn less than $100,000 a year? We have lived under the same healthcare system that has failed for over 30 years – how is it working for you?

UHC can only happen with following conditions being mandatory:
1. Doctors are given set maximum hours per week, set minimum salary adjusting with inflation and MAXimum salaries, very limited civil suit liabilities.
2. UHC must triage people based on age, comorbid conditions, and more much like the dirty insurance companies do; however, less money would be spent on paying administrative overhead under a universal system.
3. Drug ads are to be banned and people cannot request any buffet treatment. You either take it or leave it; you don't get to pick with your limited knowledge what you want done to your own body except a yes or no or just try to relieve the pain.

On a side note….
1. STRICT immigration policies need to be in place to prevent adding to the pool of people gaining benefits from federal funding.
2. Eliminate Social Security and divert funding. You couldn't save. Well, stinks for you. You had your 70 years on this planet. Now, it's our turn. The young should not be forced into slavery taking care of seniors who can still work part-time.
3. Impose the fair tax. No income tax. Just tax everything you buy.
