The simple solution to budget hemorrhaging is not to provide the service at all. Central management of anything is an expensive abusive idiot. Don't do it. People are not motivated to make rational choices unless they bear the consequences of their acts.

Government at all levels is not a giant bag of free goodies. Public health innoculations should be free and mandatory in the interests of densely populated societies. If you are not a citizen that is where it ends. If you pay into Social Security you should be allowed to draw against what has been compassionately stolen from you for emergencies, with repayment (or not - get screwed later). That is where it all ends. No government subsidies, no public safety nets at any level in any form. If you cannot be bothered to cover your own butt, die.

Exercise personal responsiblity or die. Think of it as evolution in action. The whole idea of insurance is abusive. When price and cost are decoupled there will be abuse. What one man receives without effort is confiscated from another who labors. Production belongs to the productive. Be productive and rational or die. If this offends you, join 4 billion others who act otherwise - the Third World.
