propose implementing Universal Health Care with the objective of matching PPP per capita costs to France, saving $1T/yr.

Created by G.A. on September 22, 2011

Implement a UHC system to save money, create savings, and thus create demand which will stimulate jobs. A SP/UHC system would save more, but SP is not required. The reason for *matching* the PPP per capita cost of France is because the US is supposedly able to be as competitive as any other country. Thus, as those are the *actual* costs incurred by the #1-rated healthcare country in the world (adjusted for comparison purposes--the PPP part), then the US should be able to achieve the *same* PPP cost--which would save $1T/year. Savings would be federal (Medicare), state AND federal (Medicaid), and consumers (buying healthcare at lower prices AND paying lower taxes due to the savings realized, above). Saving $1T (or $1.5T with SP) per year means eventually paying off the US National Debt.
