For healthcare we need to:
1) reign in costs on healthcare - this can only be done after we break down the average hospital bill/medical bill and find out why costs are skyrocketing. We need to end the practice of endless tests that are done for CYA purposes.... which means we need tort reform.
2) improve preventive medicine
3) encourage healthy eating and exercise.
4) Alternative energy. Pollution is obviously a detriment to health. By pushing forward an alt/clean energy platfrom we can help reduce healthcare costs.
For social security:
1) Adjust the age of availability of SS by changes in average life expectancy every five years.
2) Privatize: This does NOT mean everything has to go into the stock market. It means that each individual has their own account and we end the bullshit practice of robbing peter to pay paul. There will be a shortfall during the boomers retirement due to lack of planning for the past 4 decades. That is a short fall we have to deal with one way or another. Issue the bonds to cover the costs and we will have to tighten the budget elsewhere to make up for it.
3) Allow individuals the option to invest in a market index with a portion of their assets should they choose.
