After reading the CNN news report of our candidates and their healthcare plans i wonder if they ever think out of the box. each candidate plan has its pros and cons, but the end result would be to raise taxes in other programs in order to give tax breaks in healthcare, or cancel other programs altogether.
 I googled closed hospitals and those on the verge of bankruptcy and found too many to believe, including the effect on the communities and the overcrowding of nearby hospitals in good shape. The problem is not health care itself, but the complication of politics and the singling out of certain aspects of healthcare as a whole, insurance, doctors, nurses, hospitals and clinics.
 I then thought of our military and its medical corps, and formed an idea. we have a basic military budget that is mandatory, war or not. I propose that the medical corps assume these closed and bankrupt hospitals and clinics and open them to American citizens with no health coverage, the training of corpsmen in this area would be beneficial to both the medical field and provide advanced knowledge should they decide to stay in that field upon separation from service, as an added bonus, there would be qualified field doctors available to communities in the event of disaster or terrorist attack within our borders.
 Our tax dollars suffer from these hospital and clinic bailouts, then the buildings are vacant and we have to pay for demolition or give huge tax breaks to corporations willing to buy them up and restart them. This plan will cost less, provide work for medical professionals hurt by closures and provide a much needed service to the communities and Americans without healthcare insurance.
 Many will complain of the possibility of a military society, but with reasonable oversight and a bill forbidding involvement by the NSA and CIA it will work, it will cost much less than any plan being presented by the candidates running for President
