Make private health insurance mandatory for every employed person. The employer pays a portion and the employee pays the remainder. (This system has aleady been tried and proven to work through NIB) The Government for and of the people then negotiates with the insurance companies to come down on their premiums to accommodate this ( basically , through legislation the government will be doubling or even tripling the insurance company's client base therefore they can afford to cut prices drastically). This method frees up the burden on the government sector - which can now focus on the unemployed and the elderly. With more persons insured, work productivity will increase, health will improve and industries will grow. Additionally, insurance companies already have contracts with major hospitals in the US so our citizens will still be able to receive optimal health care.

Also, educate the population on healthy lifestyles while encouraging proper eating by decreasing taxes on healthy foods while doubling taxes for things like alcohol, cigarettes, fast food etc.
