HealthCare

Objectives of a Health Care system (HCS)
  1. Universal "critical" treatment -- There are a number of deseases/treatments that we, as a society do not want to have un-treated, either because not treating them is not compasient or because not treating them will probably harm society. The HCS should ensure that these are treated.
  2. Take advantage of Market for Pricing and Selection -- The Free Enterprise market is effective at ensuring that the cost of services is related to their benefits and thus any HSC system should allow the Market to encurrage people to reduce their "over utilization" of the system by charging them for the services and rewarding them for choosing the more inexpensive ways of getting the service that they need. Conversely the market shoulld be used to encurrage the service delivorers to be economical in their practice while also permitting them to offer a verity of services and convieniences as their end customers will pay for them.
  3. Encurage preventive care and healthy behavior --
  4. Information Technology application -- Computers, the Internet, etc. probably can be effectively used to reduce the costs, medical errors, and increase the job satisfaction by, say: 10%. The HCS system should have a program for a reasonably funded prject to develop the 'best of class medical IT techniques, an environment for profitizing their use, and ensuring that the barriors to their implication are eliminated.

Iraq-New-Way

There are certain things that the United States could do to make it more effective in Iraq.
  1. Re-deploy its troops, decreasing those in Europe and Asia so that the Surge in Iraq could continue with the troops that are freed up from the rest of the world.
  2. Repatriate the first time, non-violent war prisoners and the dead to their country of origin and keep track of their number.
  3. Request that defense contractors increase their production 50% with no overtime to provide the arms needed for Iraq and to replenish those that were used by the war.
  4. Grant Citizenship to all the Iraqis and their immediate family who worked for the US for a reasonable time, est. 50,000, and to future employees, est. 1,000 per month.
  5. Start accounting for and punishing, with aireal bombing of the homes and training camps of any violent anti-American/insurgent combatants.
