I'd rather keep the system we have now, but just start hanging crooked politicians ... when an elected official is caught screwing the public, charge him with Treason, and have public hangings ... I bet Government would straighten up, real fast ... and, give the bastards the same half-assed health insurance, the rest of us have to live with, instead of their free, limitless benefits, at the world's best hospitals ... also, NO government pensions ! ... Government was intended, by its founders, to be a 'volunteer' position, not a 'high-paying job for life'
