I have some ideas on health care and immigration.

First, we should connect an immigration office to the emergency rooms of hospitals, vetting immigrants who use health care services. If the immigrants are undocumented, they would get a green card and be allowed to work and pay taxes until they receive a hearing. The home country – say, Mexico – would get a bill sent to their embassy for social and medical services. The United Nations would get a copy, and the World Bank would add it to the debt of an undocumented immigrant’s home country.

Another way to lower health care costs is to use artificial intelligence to print basic prescriptions. We must rely more on nurses and computers for helping patients. A lot of smart people talk about stuff like this. Companies need to fast-track it into becoming reality, because of the volume of people in need of health care.
