It has some ideas for the 47+ MILLION WORKING AMERICANS (shameful! just shameful!) who are un or underinsured. (Even with ACA.)
The state of medical insurance or lack thereof is the shame of America! We are the land of the free, the home of the brave and a country in which it seems many government & private concerns don't care if we live or die!

How can we purport to be a GREAT country if we treat a good portion of our citizens like beggars & instead, we reward greed?
America, our country is now reaping what we have sown in so many ways & unfortunately, the many are paying for the gross abuses of the few.
