A nationalized health care bill has become a complicated document. Very few people can begin to understand what it is all about. There is no simple solution to fix such a broken health care system.

Awakening the nations, conscience about personal lifestyles could be a starting point to reforming the nation's health care system. It will not cost trillions of tax dollars up front. Many areas of the health care system will start to heal themselves. Emergency room and clinic visits will drop dramatically. Long term care will be reduced and the need
