We could eliminate medicaid, replace with a single payer system. Increase taxes on the very wealthy to the tune of 1 trillion per year. Big corporations wouldn't need the tax cut because they'd save quite a bit on not having to offer health care. You could institute a health care cost tax on everyone, probably around 15%. Oh, and for profit health care is now illegal.
