A singularly stupid idea. If you don't like what the measure will say, change the measure. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

After delays, Florida county votes to approve financing for new $1.3 billion ballpark for MLB’s Rays - The Boston Globe
Under the agreement, the city and county would put up about half the cost, with the Rays covering the rest, including any cost overruns.

Addressing health care admin is a very worthy goal. But it's not a one-and-done. It's a process. Would love to see Trump Admin put such a process in place. And it will involve lots of changes.

Something worth pointing out about the plan to get rid of VA health care. It only saves money if you think that the vets shouldn't get services paid by gov't. If you want them to get services in another program, it'll likely cost more. The VA is very cheap.
