Sometimes hindsight is 20-20 but here goes: The home foreclosure issue could have been solved already if the $800 Billion bank bailout went instead to bailout the homeowners. The banks would still have received the funds anyway, only people would have some semblance of financial security.
There is not enough money earmarked for clean energy. Place solar and wind power on every rooftop in America and we will have solved a major problem with energy. Home building and renovation must include super energy efficiency standards that reduce the wasted energy most homes in America suffer from.
Install Solar Roadway instead of asphalt (http://www.solarroadways.com) and we will also reduce t he traffic issues due to snow and ice. we also will have well lit roads that also produce and distribute electricity. With electric vehicles that can get electric through induction (coils) or wireless power transmission (Tesla and MIT) There would be clean energy available for transportation with no GHG emissions at all.
Try using hydrogen peroxide (food grade and diluted) as nasal drops and gargle. I use it daily, and haven't had a cold or flu in years. When I do feel something "coming on" I add more to my daily routine, and it clears it up almost overnight.
First, reforming the medical industry itself is required so that cures can be administered in place of maintenance and comfort care and drugs. The AMA and pharmaceutical companies have for too long prevented cures from being known to the general public simply because they are not profitable and sustainable. In many cases, natural cures given over a short period of time are very effective and inexpensive.
It has been known since the last days of WWII that radiation will promote the growth of cancer cells rapidly in humans. Survivors of the atomics bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki can testify to that. Yet modern medicine wants us to believe that radiation and chemo-therapy cures cancer.
We have become a society of quick fixes (that don't fix) and easy access to drugs (that do not cure) and expensive treatments that have demonstrated that they do not fix or cure either.
The same insurance providers that offer health care insurance are the same insurance companies that constantly raise the premiums for physicians malpractice and negligence policies, until doctors can no longer afford the coverage and either pass the additional costs through to patients, or become under insured.
And medical experts have been taken out of the health care decision making process for the most part, and as someone wrote earlier, have been replaced by clerks in cubicles that decide what examinations, procedures, and treatments will be covered, based on costs and profits instead of care for the ill patient. Perhaps that is why we have "health care industry" instead of medical practices dictating treatments.
While universal health care would be great for America, it cannot be administered with economic responsibility until reforms in medical sciences become aligned with patient cures and not insurance provider profits.
