Over 20 years ago I heard Leonard Pleikoff give a keynote 90 minute speech on the healtcare problems of the day. If you can get a copy of that you would have a good place to start.
Excellent job, young man, future F22 pilot! :-)

I would present the point that we have the best health care system in the world and the only reason costs are up is government intervention.
Before 1965 when Medicare was passed most hospitals were non-profits funded and sponsored by the major churches. In my town there was the Baptist Hospital, the Methodist Hospital, The Catholic Hospital (St. something) and a county run charity hospital. Most would do all they could to not go to the charity hospital because of the shame involved.
Insurance was reasonably priced and so were doctors. Worst case a doctors appointment was no more than 2 days away. Suing a doctor or hospital was almost unknown.
Churches were also the main source of neighbor helping neighbor. No one went hungry much less starved. Clothes were provided as well as food for those who were truly unfortunate. No government involved.
For 80 + years the Democrats have been increasing government involvement in all aspects of our lives and the costs have grown accordingly. Health care is just the popular subject now because they are trying to take over the entire industry.
Government intervention in our everyday lives is totally unnecessary. We will not turn on each other in a dog eat dog survival contest. People are generally good!
Back to your question - I would say this country was better without government involvement and would be again today.
Sorry to hear you won't be realizing that dream of being an F-22 pilot. I think the mods will work with you on changing your handle. You may have to hit the abuse button on yourself to get their attention. They won't mind I have seen them say that that is the best way to make sure they hear you.
Good job. I watched/listened to the entire thing. I couldn’t hear the questions, how did they trend?
As far as presentation: You look good (is that a Freeper jacket?), but you look a little bit scared. A big long smile at the beginning of the presentation would take that scared look away. Also, please try to speak a little slower and occasionally “hit” a word or two here and there harder, giving your speech more drama.
You sure know your stuff. It is obvious you have studied this subject in depth and, well, I’m impressed.
Thanks for sharing. I favorited you and gave you top star rating.
Great job. I gave you top score.
Sorry to see of your diagnosis. Will your new screen name be “former future F22 pilot”?
