I have spent almost twenty years working for either the army or the DOD. There are very few things I have seen that I thought “that works great”. The way they recruit their commissioned officers however, works very well. I bring that up because of the amount of entitlements that the government pays out for healthcare. The fact that half of it is simply fraud, not counting price gouging is infuriating to me. What if the government created a program where it pays for a doctors college in return for 4-6 years of service in small walk in clinics or imbedded in existing hospitals. Or had a way of recruiting bright young people and helping them through college like the green to gold or ROTC program. The goal is to have more doctors and to drop the fraud. I know this sounds like social medicine, and in a way it is. I would argue that so is Medicare, but this way people paying taxes would also benefit. It could also be extended to nurse practitioners and nurses. Everyone benefits from more healthcare providers and the amount of fraud in the current system is inexcusable.
