The citizens should NEVER be allowed to vote on any referendum at the national level.  That is why we elect Representatives, to vote for us.  To open a national election to the voters is to open it to mob rule, and mob rule gets "down sparkles" from me.There are enough folks concentrated in certain metropolitan/urban areas to sway the vote against the majority of the country.

Control is what matters.  The federal government needs to get out of our lives and send control back to the States where the framers intended MOST governmental functions to lie.  Local, where it is easier to exert influence on the politicians and they don't have the cover of running back to Washington to hide from all but the wealthiest of their constituents.

As for health care in America, the only thing wrong with the system we have is, everything!!  Do away with health insurance, or third party payees, i.e. government programs, and go to direct purchase of health care services and prices would plummet. But since we know that ain't gonna happen just let them sale across state lines and watch insurance prices fall.  Image having 7-10 regional offices as opposed to having to have 50 different state offices like BCBS currently has
