First I would like to see our medical system totally re-evaluated and revamped. Our current medical system is a duplicate of Australia's and New Zeland's health care system. It will only lead to an expansion of Medicare, which was put in place for elderly not for people who are capable of working as a result of US trying to provide health care for abled bodied people. The US has become a follower of countries that have less than adequate health care instead of a strong leader finding new solutions.
