4) Massive tax cuts for self-employed people when they buy health insurance.

5) Massive tax breaks for doctors who treat people for a discount or free.

Lets do a couple of these things before the government tries to take over health care.
I would add removing restrictions on where you can buy your prescribed drugs from and allowing a truly free market in the pharmaceutical trade. Time for other countries to start paying for R&D.
