Whereas, Health Security America, a new, citizen-controlled , self-funded, efficient health care plan with a diverse 295,000,000 person risk pool, directed by the book, Health Security America: Fixing the health care crisis by Dr. Fred Bannister offers a health- secure America;
Therefore, resolved, all citizens may participate from birth to death in Health Security America, those under 19 without cost.
