25. A start is to reclassify

by statue that all insurance 'providers' are classified as non profit entities and delist from stock market. Remove all denial authority from them. They are merely the vessel to pass through payments. Allow them to set up small boutique for profit entities for private insurance that they have full control over but cannot be taken full public. Open up Medicare/Medicaid with some restrictions to make it competitive. Basically create something akin to the German system. Multi-payer with competition. It's also time to put some of our resources to use for the people of this country. I am not a fan of nationalization per se, but there is oil, timber, and other resources on federal land that can be monetized in a wise manner to create a sovereign wealth fund to pay for the citizens of this country to have a way to pay for healthcare.
