21. Single payer universal health care would be the simplest solution,
but the Senate is immune to simple solutions.

We can't abolish the Senate, as a constitutional amendment to do so would have to go through the Senate, and they're not going to legislate their cushy jobs away.

The easiest solution, for me, would be to retire to Canada, but I'm not sure I could pass the physical. Yeah, there's a physical required for older people who want to move to Canada. They're not stupid. They don't want illegal aliens from the US crossing the border to take advantage of their social safety net.
