as i have stated so many times before:
a national network of taxpayer funded medical facilities, funded by clear and understandable taxes
by rolling together the VA, military hospitals and medical/medicare into one system which is NOT reliant on privately operated insurance companies (who gots to git PAID, thus driving up costs each time a new spoon dips into the porridge)but rather through the issuance of a National Medical ID (which will work for voting too...) to all LEGAL US citizens. thus any american can be admitted, treated, and sent to specialists, and the costs are paid By The Taxpayers (NOT DEBT OR SHENANIGANS) with no red tape or smoke and mirrors to hide the costs.
the program should be administered by PHYSICIANS not lawyers politicians and insurance companies
smaller clinics in outlying areas, with triage capabilities to funnel more serious or difficult to treat cases to larger hospitals or specialty treatments centers
the pay rate for the government facilities should be commensurate with the wages physicians receive in privately operated facilities
private insurance could still exist for those who really want it, but nobody would actually NEED
it private hospitals, religious hospitals and whatnot would be paid from the funds allocated for the National Medical Service, at reasonable rates, while continuing to offer boutique services for specialty clients (for example, boob jobs, circumcisions and anal bleaching)
