First, form a commission made up of all the physicians* currently serving in the US House of Representatives and the US Senate.
Second, bring in former Sen. Bill Frist to chair this newly assembled commission.
Third, charge this commission with writing 10 pieces of health care reform legislation, which they can unanimously agree on before October 27, 2009 (My birthday).
Fourth, assign each of these 10 pieces of newly proposed legislation to the appropriate House and Senate committees and give each committee 10 legislative days to hold hearings on each of the newly proposed bills Any amendments to the bill must be agreed on unanimously, and each bill must be voted on on the 10th day.
Fifth, on the 11th legislative day the first bill must come to the floor of the House, receive one legislative day for debate (any amendments must, again, be by unanimous consent) after which the bill will receive an up or down (recorded) vote. A like process will take place for the remaining 9 bills.
Sixth, each of the 10 measures (assuming they have passed the house) will proceed to the Senate under the same rule--one day for debate per bill and an up or down vote on each bill at the end of that day.
Seventh, send all of the newly passed legislation on to the White House.
*I would have no objection to including all former health care providers (nurses, etc.) if there are such currently in the House or Senate.
