That sounds reasonable and covers a couple of bases. About keeping the money out of the wrong hands and prevention of augmenting the coverage to include other diseases, maybe the program should be state-run?
My idea is that, if health care premiums dropped by 50% or more, then there would be no public outcry for further reform, then such augmentation of the program would not occur. I really should contact an actuary and sit down with a medical administrator and delve for facts. It would be great if people dropped their politics and came together to forge an actual solution to the problems that costs us less than our expenditures today, while providing for the needs people can't afford to because of the system today. Win/win.

I haven't been to see a doctor in over 20 years. I stay away from fluoridated water, eat organic when able and watch my weight, so I'm pretty healthy. Parents are old and the same way--no doctors, and opt out of Medicare.
I don't, personally, care about health coverage, but the left won't stop trying to get universal passed, and we all know what that would lead to. I'd rather do something like this that actually benefits people, can be cost-controlled and keeps universal and single-pay out of the picture. Is it really socialism, or protecting our freedom of choice?

What happens if we take cancer out of the actuarial scenario? Premiums would certainly decrease, and it would be interesting to find out how much. Any actuary reading this who can shed some light on this? I was thinking that insead of public funding of ALL health care, why not just publicly fund cancer care centers and make that care available free to cancer patients and leave the rest of the health care system intact? Most pre-existing conditions precluding affordable coverage are cancer-related, so that would take care of that issue.
Would this be an efficient, cost-effective improvement to our health care?
