Grand Bargains Health System Reform: A Proposal for Patient-Centered, Cost-Controlled Universal Coverage

This document outlines a proposed universal coverage system aimed at improving metabolic health and reducing healthcare costs. By freezing government healthcare funding at the 2026 level of $5.6 trillion annually through 2035, the plan projects total savings of $16 trillion over ten years and a 73.4% reduction in the US federal deficit. Key inefficiencies targeted include excessive administration (at least 30% of costs), unnecessary or harmful interventions, fraud (3–10%), and overcharging, as evidenced by the disparity between US and comparable nations’ per capita healthcare expenses.
