Reader Jane Haslem suggests the following as a four-point healthcare plan:
1. Put all uninsured on Medicaid immediately with the exception of [illegal immigrants]. All must sign-up to be treated.
2. Set up clinics for [illegal immigrants] and those who did not sign up for Medicaid. Treatment in these clinics does not include hospitalization.
3. Take all earning $2.5 million a year or higher off Medicare.
4. Begin working on all fraudulent practices with Medicare and Medicaid and doctors. Leave everything else alone and do not raise taxes.
