- "Target improving preventive medicine to take the burden off of insurance companies to pay for those items. Insurance companies drive prices up and pass those costs on to the individual's premium. Use purchasing power by the government to drive down the prices of syringes, basic medical equipment, etc. Increased spending in preventive medicine will re-appropriate insurance as it was intended, to protect against calamity; not drive up cost of healthcare for everyone else. The cost of insurance policies will then decrease and be somewhat more appropriate for the demand that everyone has insurance." (bobrownforcongress.com)
- "Allow immigrants a phase-in to citizenship. Add these unregistered civilians to the population base by adding them to the healthcare equation and labor market. This would improve insurance's effectiveness and provide greater opportunities for current Americans to obtain more responsibility and better paying jobs for their skill sets. It also keeps more money in America. This country was founded as a melting pot. This way our country can make better decisions as to the real population base we house." (votesmart.org)
