Ah, I don't know. I know my wish is optimistic and unrealistic, but I don't see how collectivizing through coercive fundraising (theft / tax) is a productive idea. If you did your idea, you're just leaving it up to whichever beurocrats get to decide on a piece of land's value. They could raise taxes on big farms, thereby raising food prices. Or like the communists did in Russia and China, tax the landowners and then force price caps on their produce. Thereby making them work at a loss. Until they go out of business and everyone starves. A true free market is the only solution I can think of or envision. Single payer health care is a total impossibility. We need price signals to know what a medicine or x-ray machine or a doctor's salary should be. Centralizing it will only make matters worse. That's why Canadians with money leave the country and come to the US so they can get treated without having to wait 3-5 weeks. Just because a single-payer system exists for 5-10 years doesn't make the success of it possible. If it's being propped up, and it's a matter of time until that falls apart, then you need to wait and see if it really lasts long term before you decide it is possible.

NHS was established in 1948

There's lots of bad press about the NHS in America (not surprising, wonder who that benefits?)
Look up liquid democracy. That could help choose a more democratic government to decide how taxes are spent
