But sending every home a bottle of vitamin D suppliments would be a waste of tax money?

Yes, absolutely.

First of all, there are enough dumb Americans (like the couple who swallowed their disinfectant after Orangehead mentioned it) who wouldn't know how to handle it. Secondly, a few minutes in the sun would do the same and costs nothing.

Then why does like half of america, have Vitamin D deficiency? 

If spending like a hour outsides in the sun everyday fixed the issue, then why are so many people still haveing deficiency?
Does half of the american population just not spend that much time outsides every day?

I dont know... sounds easier to just ask people to take a pill.
