Public Health Care Option
I support the creation of a public health care option where all Americans are given easy access to health care as a fundamental right. This means access to health care that is equal to or better than what's currently enjoyed by Congress, the military and Medicare recipients.

Cutting costs should include bringing drug costs down to reality, as is described in the linked article by Bill Fallon, of Life Extension Foundation.

Costs would also include emphasis on staying well and promoting a healthy lifestyle, not just fighting diseases.

Paying For The Public Option
I also support creating taxes that require wealthy people to pay more tax to pay for it. A small increase in taxes for those who make great amounts of money could cover the costs. Any health care system that does not take care of all citizens, considering the tremendous wealth we have, I consider to be grossly inadequate and immoral.
