US needs Universal Medicaid/Medicare. Houston Post's Donald Morris noted US Medicaid/Medicare is Worlds most efficient government payee health care system; it can be funded by extending Social Security Tax, to all incomes of all entity's that have income from property or earnings of any size.. Workers plus employers matching pay 14.4%, let all pay same; no more employer matching. The US Presidentcy must be divided into a National Security President, an Industrial Security President, and a Social Security President, each its own treasury; with IRS, Justice department, Judiciary joint appointments. US needs a True Central Bank, not Fascist gov-private Fed; JPMorgan Chase controlling stockholder uses NY Fed Reserve Branch to set US Interest Rates. Jesus era synagogues took 4.5-5% of income, churchs should not exceed. Executive branch not serve after age 45, nor congress & Judicary after 60. Jeffeson states "My philosophy is that of Old Aristotle; others should not be taught.

Has Land lost it? Is the government our new Savior? Is the governmentn to look after the needs or widows and orphans or should the church get off its pew and be the church?! Bigger government is not the answer Dr. Land and you know better than to encourage this course of action.

Is our healthcare the best in the world? Not sure where this statement comes from - I have seen the healthcare systems in some other countries and wonder if that statement is true. I think we do well, and we can generally get very good healthcare, but it can also be truly appalling. Certainly one would not want to be poor, living in the inner city without healthcare coverage and contract a debilitating illness... I think though we do pretty well (not as well as we imagine) and are held ransom by pharmaceutical and medical device companies. Plus (I agree) an over zealousness to litigation... All issues that should not have to impact children, be they rich or poor

It is atrocious that this country allows so many people to go without adequate health coverage. Why not take the money we use to fund unethical wars and throw it into healthcare? This seems to be a much better way of protecting United States citizens.
