Bill,

While I agree with you completely, I don't believe anything of real significant's will happen until political funding is dramatically changed. How many billions do BP and other healthcare related organizations pay to fund our politicians. A President may be able to tweak the system, but real change can only come when Congress, as well as the President, isn't being funded by the people we'd have them legislate against.

Personally I think the greatest waste in the world is funding politicians, you might as well just burn up the money. Political campaigns should involve a series of public debates, and they ought to be done over a matter of a few months, not years. Politicians need to be in Congress when they're in Washington D.C., not in the Office Bldg where they spend most of their time raising funds, something they cannot legally do from their official offices in the capitol.

Of course this would eliminate PAC's of all kinds, accept they could present proposals to the voters, and defend them in public debates where both sides would be represented. TV and other media would be limited to reporting what was said, no commercials. I suspect the cost of a lot of things, not just healthcare, would come down.

It won't happen, but we'd have a much better world if it did.
