- Create a medicare plan for everyone under 18. Children receive coverage just like anyone over the age of 65 and would not be covered under their parent's plan.
- Allow universities to provide basic insurance as part of regular tuition, covering those over 18 who are in school.
- Require doctors to maintain electronic records, reducing overhead expenses and making medicine more efficient. This will lower the cost consumers/insurance companies pay for office visits.
- Government would pay for catastrophic coverage for everyone. Few people use this, and it drives up the cost of insurance considerably. Have a non-profit administer it.
- Expand the number of small clinics in pharmacies and grocery stores. This will allow people to take care of small needs quickly and inexpensively.
It's a start that creates a private/public partnership.
