Fix what is currently broke, show the public they (SS & MC) can be run successfully, and we might be more supportive of health care. With the current track record of almost all government run programs failing or way over budget, no one should be behind these new plans.

If you worked for any business and everything you did either had major cost over runs or was failing, would you be given a new major program to run? No. You would be fired. If not fired, at a minimum be forced to come up with a plan to fix the broke programs, demonstrate success, then just maybe given something more.

Even Obama fired the GM CEO. Why? Because he failed. He should either do the same or fix current programs in trouble. And start with Medicare and Social Security. Why can't the general public see that?
