Save on Healthcare Costs!
The largest healthcare expenditure in the U.S. is bone fractures (not heart disease)!

This would significantly lower huge surgery expenses, hospital stays, recovery and rehab costs, etc. that passes along savings to all Americans.

A more bold idea (less feasible) is to merge all federal healthcare departments into ONE federal health care system (merge Dod health, VAH, and IHS).
