7.5%/7.5% for those working. 7.5% for those not working (retirement income). Medicaid LTC takes almost all retirement income (just like currently). Copay brackets dependent on income levels (Medicaid level $5 copay for example) going up to $25/visit for highest income.

Up supply of U.S. doctors by 20%. Greater involvement by feds in paying for the education of doctors as well as offering liability insurance and weeding out poor doctors (those with liability exposure).


If you stay in the current framework, you do not have a solution.
