Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

To really save money, we should go after real fraud by private insurers, and invest in treatments and research that reduce trips to the emergency room and get people back to work.
