Default Health care for the poor

How to pay for it? Here is a good way, reduce federal salaries to the
same level as comparable pvt jobs saving roughly $100 billion each
year which would be used to finance health insurance for the poor.
Federal salaries are roughly 1.5X as high as comparable pvt jobs. Use
this data:

to arrive at the figure of about $49 billion directly saved and then
tack on another $49 billuion for benefits and pensions and then divide
by 10 million uninsured.



Yeah, we don't need to attact talented people to run the gov't, so don't pay
them very much. Makes a lot of sense.
