A kinder, gentler, more responsive, and less mistake-prone medical

expensive system.

Pretty much not going to happen. The best that can happen is containing
the increases in costs over time. Even just looking at the demographic
reasons for increasing health care costs over the next 50 years shows an
insoluble problem in cost reduction. Unless you plan to massacre 50% of
the baby boomers as they hit 65.

How about drafting them into occupation forces for foreign conquests?


Hey, we stopped our war.
