THE DECLARATION OF
INDEPENDENCE: “We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, …. -- That to
secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the governed, -- …” www.law.indiana.edu
THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA: “We the People of the United
States … do ordain and establish this Constitution.” http://www.house.gov/Constitution/Constitution.html
HEALTH CARE
- Presently, our healthcare conversation nationally is
disingenuous at best. According to the GAO over $300 billion
dollars this year will be spent on private bureaucracy expenditures
alone. We are spending over $6,000 per person on health care, twice
any other industrial nation's expenditures.
- Preliminary investigations indicate that we could provide every
person in this nation with national single-payer universal
health-care, where they choose their own healthcare provider and
receive all services free of charge, while cutting the healthcare
budget in half.
- The single leading health care cost today is obesity and
inactivity. An investment of approximately $10 billion a year We
could offer memberships to Health Clubs in voucher form of say $100
a year for an approved health club of the citizen's choice (most
clubs cost $200-$300 a year or for a family membership).
- Unfair Wage, Trade and Business Development practices create
tremendous stress on the individual costing the US industry over
$300 billion a year as well as human suffering (see

.
Much of this could be addressed by insuring good sensible and
ethical practices in both public and private sectors through open
formats of accountability and disclosure.
