I would like to see Complete Tort Reform.

Interstate competition for current HC already in place.

Tax credits or rebates in a HC account for all Soc Sec card holders to help pay insurance premiums based on income.

Government enforcing the laws against the fraud/ waste of Medicare/ Medicaid.
If there is truly $900 Billion in waste and fraud, those dollars could be returned
to cover tax credits for HC premiums for everyone.

Use Medicare as a safety net for the unemployed seeking work.

Government regulation that all insurance companies offer a basic low cost
plan option.

The main reasons I'm against a government option is the additional cost to
set it up, and the temptation for employers to drop their HC plans forcing
a hugh expensive Government plan that we can't afford.

We already have things in place, tweak them and make them more affordable
being close to 80 % of Americans are happy with their current plan.

Just a few thought off the top of my head.
