So, so close Rand. Imagine an organization even bigger than Costco, an organization that every citizen is a member of. Imagine the negotiating power!
Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."
