It's called a mandatory insurance and health savings plan. It should cost a lot less,

Both in the health care bill.

and nothing to the taxpayer.

So the country would magically find $700B out of thin air?

It would be cheaper because the politicians and lawyers wouldn't get a piece of the pie,

Ok...i'll bite. How much of the pie do the politicians get?

and private insurance companies keep a closer eye on fraud than lazy government workers.

If fraud went to zero (unrealistic), Medicare would save ~60B/year. Private insurance pockets that in the Med Advantage program.

Obama is putting teeth into fraud avoidance...as I am sure you have read...oh, you haven't? You just learned something else.
