"Do you want to fix problems or make excuses and further the armed robbery of the American people?"
I'd love to fix problems.
The first problem that needs to be fixed, however, will only come with either all out economic collapse, revolution, some form of civil war, or combination of those.
Our country, both the political system and the people are broken. We have no viable candidates for leading the country out of this, and not even an acknowledgment of what problems need to be addressed.
We have a system that is a train wreck failure in progress, where no one who would propose the necessary changes could ever get elected, let alone enact them.
Those are not excuses. They are reality.
I love your theory. Makes perfect sense. I don't pay my local mechanic or body shop for anything but a "cure", as just one example, so why the med/pharma cartel? Because they have the power. And to take their power requires having more power.
That level of power only exists with the people who withdraw their consent to be governed. Any ideas on a realistic blueprint to get the necessary numbers on board? There's concept, and then there's execution. If the concept cannot be executed then it's akin to a fantasy.
At best, there will be a transition to what you describe as the funding dries up. People will be pocket picked by means testing and higher fees. The rich will get whatever they want. The middle class will make difficult decisions, and as always, the poor will be screwed.
