Healthcare: Universal coverage for all American citizens. Any form of medicine that is "alternative" is not funded. People have to pay for their own acupuncturists. If someone is diagnosed with a terminal illness, they will be granted the option of trying unapproved experimental drugs. Doctors will be required by law to have all overweight patients on a medically supervised diet. The definition of overweight and obese will rely heavily on BMI but can be contested with a body fat test.
All obese Americans must pay a fee: For hospitalization and surgery, 15% of medical costs with a cap of $10,000. They must also pay for prescription medication, but no more than $100 for a month's supply of a single drug.
All overweight Americans must pay a fee: For hospitalization and surgery, 10% of medical costs with a cap of $5,000.
This puts into place a plan where Americans are given very strong incentives to drop weight. If lower income Americans cannot afford to pay, they have the opportunity to reduce their weight, and are given the window of what three doctors declare is the quickest healthy way they can get their lbs down with an additional three months. If they fail in this, the costs are adjusted to reflect the progress they've made.
All non-citizens (tourists, visa holders, dreamers, etc.) pay a fee if they must go to a hospital: 20% of their medical costs with a cap of $10,000. If they must see a doctor, they must pay $50 for the visit and only have prescription medicine subsidized for half the cost.
Immigration: We build a wall across the southern border, 25 yards tall. All illegal immigrants are removed from the nation. For anyone who argues we need them to do the jobs that pay to low and that Americans won't do, we send them to labor camps for advocating their progressive serfdom. We will not be known as the nation that exploits labor
Current "DREAMers" can stay, but are never eligible to receive citizenship unless they self-deport and start from square one. Future DREAMers are not forgiven and are deported with their parents/guardians. Birthright citizenship is ended.
Our focus on immigration looks to Europe once again, to better preserve and restore the demographic makeup of the nation prior to the horrible 1960s reforms. We only accept people who are better than what we have, placing high standards on all those who want to live here. Marriage and family in the US are no longer good enough to qualify for citizenship.
Economy: All forms of energy production are encouraged, clean energy is subsidized with intense oversight to ensure no fraud is occurring. The minimum wage is increased to $13 an hour and indexed to productivity, and is thereby adjusted every two years. Anyone who says they cannot afford to pay this wage are immediately put in labor camps for the crime of suggesting they should have the right to exploit people due to some "small or medium business class" nonsense.
Regulations are scaled back, save for workplace safety rules. Those too will be scaled back, but more carefully. After all, workplace injury was on a steady decline prior to OSHA.
International trade is negotiated in a way that allows the United States to maintain a strong manufacturing base as well as a thriving service economy.
Most importantly. We nationalize the banks. We will no longer allow the economic health of our nation be determined by Jewish bankers.
Taxes: "I Like Ike" tax policy recreated, the wealthy are taxed more heavily. Celebrities are required to pay at a higher rate than others in their income brackets.
Deficit: Efforts will be made to reduce and eliminate the deficit with tax reform and spending cuts. Tax increases alone cannot end the deficit, so a nation wide look into wasteful spending must occur.
Energy: All forms encouraged, clean subsidized.
Military: Our enemies will die screaming.
That's awfully statist of you.

Name of your Party: Federalist
Name of your Vice President: Kyrsten Sinema
Names and assignments of your THREE Cabinet members
Jesse Ventura, Secretary of State
Ellen Brown, economist, Secretary of Treasury
Tulsi Gabbard, Secretary of Defense
Healthcare: Medicare for all.
Immigration: Open borders and easy to attain citizenship, but deport violent criminals.
Economy: Mixed economy. Eliminate some regulations that benefit only large corporations and serve as barriers to entry into the market by small businesses. Fix the broken patenting system to protect inventors from capitalist market manipulation. Implement a Universal Basic Income and eliminate all other federal welfare programs.
Taxes: Eliminate entirely (except certain excise taxes and import/export taxes), replace with a government takeover of all banking. Eliminate the Federal Reserve and put the Treasury in charge of managing capital and the money supply. Interest on investments covers more bills than our current tax system does.
Deficit: Eliminated by the public banking system and a one time monetization of all outstanding debt.
Energy: Promote thorium, geothermal, and solar before everything else. Rewrite treaties that currently prevent us from reprocessing nuclear waste. Eliminate energy subsidies for fossil fuels. Implement aggressive subsidies for thorium and renewables with a 20 year sunset period. Eliminate the ethanol program and the ethanol requirement for fuel.
Military: Reduce budget by eliminating costly and useless weapons programs and private contractors. Streamline supply bidding processes. Increase pay and benefits to service men and women and fully fund the VA.
I can agree with a lot of this.
