Yeah, the idea sounds good, but take a look at who would be writing the legislation for this. Do you think the morons in Congress (both parties) would be capable of creating a simple, efficient, and stable system that could be made to work for generations? Look at two recent examples of important national business ( war funding and immigration reform) that these imbeciles couldn't even get right without bogging down with hundreds of earmarks and amendments. It's a noble idea, but I'd hate to see what twisted monstrosity the special interests, lobbyists, and their paid for congress critters would unleash on us.
And one more thing. Remember when Social Security cards had "Not to be used for identification purposes" printed on them? Just think what could be done in the name of health care savings and prevention.
