Simplify Medicare Enrollment for Advantage Plans and Part D. Very few 80-year olds can do this on their own.

Require all members of Congress to use the same health care system that the rest of us use. Require members of Congress to prove that the system is so simple, they can do it themselves without help and then explain to their 80-year old mother what her plan is and how it will work. This would make a good reality TV show. Have members of Congress draw straws and the winners are put into a room with just a computer and Internet access. They cannot come out until they have chosen a plan and explained it to an 80-year old - and he or she confirms that they understand how it will work. For the next year, those members of Congress are mentors for that elderly person and must assist them with using their plan.
