How would you fix healthcare?
DanielBMarkham: You need to define the problem more if you want to talk about a possible answer. Just what about it is "broken"? Is it the fact that people invent treatments that are too expensive for other people to buy? I'm not sure how you would stop that. Is it the fact that large numbers of people have no insurance? Is it the fact that people, with or without insurance, have to make difficult choices in regards to treatment? Would you like to have your politician be involved with things like how many MRIs are in your town? Is there something "dishonest" about insurance companies (as some have suggested) that they need fixing? Would you like not to worry about anything health-related? (highly unlikely to happen, but it's your problem definition)"How would you fix healthcare" sounds like a simple question, but it's not at all. It's very odd (to me, at least) that we're having a national discussion and planning major changes for something so ill-defined.I think there's a real problem. If I had to define it, I'd say we have too many people that are uninsured and insurance products are purposely confusing and non-standardized to consumers.
