That's my 60-60 plan.

That's the first step to getting our financial house in order.

The third step is obviously single payer to bring down medical expenses by eliminating profit, reducing complexity of management and paperwork, and providing better care management and preventive care.

The deal that Washington (including Obama) wants done, is not what the country needs or wants.
