    High quality high quantity and saving billions.

    Ask OMB; how much this dual choice, public or private system, would save annually from the $2.5 trillion now spent for care, what will this combination health care and stimulus package do for individuals, businesses and the US economy?

       1. Set up a civilian, VA style, public health care system for delivering all government funded health care and medications through government owned and operated hospitals, free to everyone choosing to use it, no restrictions period.

       2. Pay for it with a national sales tax.

       3. Private insurers and care providers could compete for everyone preferring to stay with and purchase private care through a robust private system without government intervention or costs incurred from indigent or mandated services.  

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