How to lower Healthcare cost AND create millions of good decent jobs:
1. Expand Meals On Wheels to all rural communities
2. Increase SNAP food credit for low income Americans on Doctor ordered restricted diets and food allergies
3. Provide shelf stable low glycemic/low sodium food to VA healthcare clinics, Salvation army senior centers, as well as other healthcare clinics that serve low income clients. These items would also be sold at Goodwill, for a minimum fee to cover shipping and handling.
4. Every state would allow a taxbreak for Healthclub membership
If Obama wanted to, he could sign an executive order and this four step action plan would get started before Christmas: MILLIONS of decent jobs would be created, nationwide! Best of all, healthcare costs would drop,because of better nutrition and exercise- therefore; this makes my 4 step program better than anything Pelosi has come up with.

These are interesting ideas, but I don't understand how they would create millions of jobs.

Most of these ideas would cost money to the States. Most states are in financial crisis. The states have lost a lot of tax revenue over the last two years. They can not afford new expenditures no matter how noble the cause. Most State budgets are in deficit and need to make unpopular but necessary cuts in spending. I doubt a single state would pass a tax break for health club memberships, especially now.

Many of these places rely on volunteers and donations to carry out the programs.

A tax break that would not be taxed for all would have encouraged businesses to grow. We may have come out of this earlier and with fewer scars.

TRUE, Angie! And the jobs created through healthclub memberships would pay for themselves in three ways: Training and paying instructors would take unemployed people off welfare and they'd start paying taxes. 2. More club memberships means more support employees also- dietitians, physical therapists, janitorial
3. Lower healthcare costs in the long run. Just belonging to a healthclub would encourage healthier lifestyles through peer pressure and increased awareness.
