I think we should bring all the manufacturing and call center jobs back here.
We should do away with the insurance companies and third party billing companies and have a comprehensive and reasonable payment guide for all medical procedures. Medicare/Medicaid would be available as a supplemental for people with chronic illnesses.
There should be a sufficient amount of manufacturing and call center jobs to accomodate all the now unemployed insurance and call center workers (with probably a few additional jobs for other unemployed people). The pay would not have to be super high because no-one would have to be forking over 1/3 of their income for health insurance.
Without having to pay insurance premiums, people's wages could be reduced somewhat which should trickle down making the cost of producing items cheaper. These items would then be cheaper to buy here and also to export which would help the economy overall.
Woohoo! I solved unemployment and the healthcare issue and I didn't need to have any committee's or sub-committees to help me. ,g>
