Welcome!

I would like to welcome the visitors of this website, and I would like to express my gratitude for the time that you take to read the information presented here.  I do not view myself as some sort of advocate for the legalization of marijuana, nor do I wish to argue the ramifications regarding the creation of socialized medicine, or any other quasi-governmental organization tasked with the responsibility of insuring Americans.  The information on this website is not necessarily my own opinion, but a suggestion on how to accomplish health care reform, while keeping any changes cost neutral at worst.  The results of such studies are intended to open new dialogue on an existing matter that is currently being debated in the public arena, and the ambitions of this website, as well as the people who contribute to the ideas presented on this website, are to help America progress into a nation that can move past ideological differences, beyond party platforms and journalistic sabotage, to help promote the general well being of America's citizens.

The combination of these two issues will surely spark some controversy, considering recent coverage of the health care legislation being proposed, and the 70-year-old war on drugs.  Most people have their preconceived notions of both issues, and many people are unwilling to open themselves up to compromise, or to the acceptance that there are other possibilities out there.  I ask the people who visit this website to keep an open mind and seriously consider the information that will be found on the articles to come.

The concept behind the combination of legalizing marijuana to fund universal medicine was not something I had ever considered, but was born through honest debate between politically diverse minds.  I have never indulged in marijuana, or any drug, to be precise, but in my opinion, the benefits of supplying health care to the nation outweighed many of the traditional arguments in support of the criminalization of marijuana.  My hope is to conduct a comprehensive study on not only how to fund universal health care, but to help improve American society, as well as the myriad of municipalities that are affected by both health care problems and drug problems.

I hope that this website helps in the continuing debate of health care reform and the legalization of marijuana.
