Some of what you are proposing was proposed by the Hiliary healthcare reform commission (or whatever it was called). They actually had some good ideas and it is a shame that she was placed at the helm of that reform initiative because it became all about her and not about healthcare. She wasn't the architect of the proposal, some other guy was, I think his name was Ira somebody.
I cannot remember all the details now and don't have time to research it, but I do remember thinking that there was not enough competition in the system. If you haven't read it, it is worth looking it up and read through some of the proposals.
We need to means test Medicare or it will very shortly be a horrible burden on our economy, especially now that there is a prescription drug benefit.
