Our inspired Founding Fathers established the greatest country in the world, as follows:

The Declaration of independence — five pages.

The Constitution of the United States — 11 pages.

Amendments to the Constitution — nine pages.

Twenty-five pages! Yet we have a 1,500-page bill, mostly unread by our politicians, being pushed as our health-care bill. A simple solution is to give all legal citizens the same health care the president and Congress receive, at the same cost.

Too simple.

It will never happen.
