Mandatory Flood/Hurricane/Tornado Insurance- Every American/business would be required to buy flood insurance regardless of where you live. FEMA could then be eliminated. One might ask if it’s fair for someone living in the mountains of AZ to be required to purchase flood insurance. No it’s not really fair but either is asking everyone to pitch in for birth control and abortion coverage, even males and women past the need for contraceptives or at risk of pregnancy.

Mandatory Individual Disability Insurance- See you later SSI

Mandatory Fitness/Health Club Membership- After all it’s all about health!

Mandatory Long Term Health Care Coverage- Smoking and obese households only. (Non-discriminatory)

I could go on and on and the fact is virtually every government entitlement could be eliminated, by simply requiring every American to abide by the government playbook. It’s a backwards way to individual responsibility but I suppose needed for those unable or unwilling to be self-accountable and or responsible. Just trying to go along with the program
yeah, they've trumpeted the medicare savings. problem is, the medicaid expenses grow-and more times over than the savings from medicare. so, really, not a savings at all. but they don't mention that part, do they?
