11. who wants insurance companies- let the FEDERAL government set the prices like in France

and America is not the only place for Doctors.

Lots of well qualified hungry compassionate doctors worldwide who care about being doctors, not gauging patients.

the myth is that the US is the best in healthcare.
No, many countries are alot better

And it is like gas stations in a crisis gauging customers.

Put doctors on Salaries, or give them a price range.

They are the 1% anyhow, the ones that charge the most.

BTW-I would make school free so please don't use the analogy of how expensive it is.

And get rid of insurance companies altogether and let the federal government run it.

just adjust everything and change everything

The French are healthier, happier and have a much better system.
(except those that still smoke in defiance of course).

But why do the French have so many smart cars?
Because the French are not morbidly obese like Americans driving SUV's are.
Americans can't fit in smart cars, they need the largest of cars to get into.
That says it all.
(and I speak of myself here...before I went on my wellness plan last year, I couldn't get into a Honda or Toyota and needed a large vehicle. Now I can fit into a smart car.
And btw, my doctor is not American born. But I never noticed that except to make a point here.

Teachers should make as much as the top doctors. After all, without a grade school teacher, the doctor never would have gotten into medical school. If anything, teachers are as important as are sanitation people who without them, there would be mass disease and deaths.

but anyhow, this is really not the topic of this thread, but wellness=less major surgery needed anyhow.
As they say wellness is like an apple. And a day of wellness keeps the doctor away
and that means more money in every well person's hands in the future.

(again this whole SS thing is ten years down the road and does not effect current retireees, or those retiring the next ten years anyhow).
