Ban all forms of Medical Insurance, even malpractice insurance. Insurance is the elephant in the room. Costs for medical care didn't begin to skyrocket until medical insurance began to cover all points of medical costs. That meant that there was a payer that would always pay no matter what the cost and when you have that much money to throw around, you have inflation. Amazing and unlimited inflation.

Of course there will be a lot of waling and nashing of teeth from the Insurance companies if we did this.

Senator Barack Obama was the first candidate to call for all presidential debates to be released under Creative Commons, with fellow Demcoratic hopeful John Edwards following shortly afterwards. CNN will be the first to do so with their June 3rd and 5th Democratic and Republican debates. The NBC-Microsoft co-venture MSNBC hosted the first presidential debates recently but refused to release it under Creative Commons, opting instead to post only commercial-ridden clips online in Windows Media format."
